With Plenty of Money

So, this is kind of our theme song.  "Baby, what I wouldn't do (ooh-ooh), with plenty of money and you (ooh-ooh)."

Not that we have "Plenty" of it, although as long as you have just enough (and maybe some pocket change too), then it totally counts as PLENTY.

Right now, my life savings includes slightly less than $1600. And since right now rent ($850 in NYC) is more than gas ($3.99 per gallon), I am going on tour.

Keep in mind that each stop will probably earn us $400 (guaranteed, otherwise we get a percentage of the door, whichever is higher).  But motels, food, gas (and more gas) will probably cost closer to twice that.

Because there are all those days in between, when there are no performances.  (Isn't it terrible that there are so many Non-Show days?)  Friday nights and Saturday nights are when we all come alive.  Sometimes Sunday nights or the odd Festival that books us outside during the day.

It's a tough life being the lead Girl Singer in an unknown folk music band.  But I LOVE it.
