Back at Enigma

I played three more nights at the Enigma restaurant this week. Unfortunately the only picture taken during all six days was by a friend with a phone camera. It was from one night when I was outside on the patio where it was quite dim and the image is barely discernible. Lack of photographic documentation notwithstanding, It went even better than last week and I made the same amount of money again. I've pretty much made back all the money I have spent on musical gear since, well, since high school I think. It doesn't take into account all the time I have spent learning how to do what I had to know how to do in order to make someone want to pay me to do it. But all that doing was something I wanted to do for my own enjoyment so it really doesn't count in the equation now does it? Anyway, it was all great and I can't believe I have made so much money in the last two weeks doing something I have wanted to do for so long and something I ended up enjoying so much. It made me think about the possibility of doing it every week. That opportunity was actually offered to me, but for reasons I'll get around to sharing here in the not-too-distant future, I will likely not be able to take advantage of it. I would like to get back and I plan to do so, but after four hours a night three nights in a row for two weeks in a row, I actually started to develop a blister at the edge of the callus on my left index finger. It was pretty sore this morning. It's already getting better but I don't know if I could take quite that much on a regular basis. I'm afraid my fingers or my love for playing or possibly both might suffer. Doing it once in a while would be perfect and that's what I hope to be able to do.
