Any Coal Burners Here Play the Fiddle?

Post by **Lightning** » Thu. Nov. 28, 2013 11:07 am

Just thought I would share what I like to do when I'm not selling bread or burning coal. My rock band "Steel Reign" played at Olean Good Times last night. It just opened earlier this summer, the owner put a $100,000 into an "in house" sound and light show. Its a lot of fun playing there, kinda like a small arena layout

Excellent turn out, over 500 people paid to get thru the door. And the owner splits the door fee 1/3 after our fee (band charge) is met so we had a nice payday too! Thanksgiving eve is a big "go and party" night like New Years Eve

I play music as a hobby, where I'm sure others like to hunt or fish or tinker with stock cars

That's me in the first pick and on the right side in the others
