Really?
Keri,
I thought about paying $100.00 for a stage spot on Venice Beach for a Festival, but that was an hour as I understood it. How about you keep the $10.00 coupon and give me a 40 minute set for $30.00. I played 3 hours in front of 200 people in Westchester the first Friday of January and made $20.00 in tips and didn't pay anything. I play every first Sunday every month in San Clemente for 5 hours and there's about 100 people passing by and I make a few bucks and I don't pay anything. I can do a Farmers Market in Long Beach for three hours and make it home with $80.00, explain your logic to me again? I do clubs at night and don't have to pay. How again are you going to make me famous? I'm going to get my name printed on a list? I have a permit that allows me to busk at the outside Santa Monica things. It costs $45.00 a year- I can go anytime and wait my turn and play for at least 200 people. I have 5500 hits on my You Tube Channel- how are you gonna make me famous?

I can do this for free for up to 3 hours on a Friday night. Why would I want to pay you for a 4 song set? And I have my own sound.

Forgotten Banjo Greats
Segal on Banjo
Segal is an accomplished banjo player; he played with a dixieland jazz band while in college at Columbia that had several different names. When he was the one who booked a gig, he would bill the group as "Bruno Lynch and his Imperial Jazzband". Recent engagements in Los Angeles have included guest spots with the award-winning residency Guitarology.
The group, which later settled on the name Red Onion Jazz Band, later played at his first wedding.[6] In 1974 he played in A Touch of Ragtime, an album with his band, the Imperial Jazzband (which, other than its name, may or may not have had any relation to his college band). During the 1970s/80s, Segal made frequent television appearances with the "Beverly Hills Unlisted Jazz Band", whose members included actor Conrad Janis on trombone.
I included a link above where a CD version can be found. I had run across this vinyl album at a thrift store. There was only one banjo track on it. The rest was George playing the uke. He plays a 4 string banjo.

Other Come-ons
I had sent this just before our Christmas break. As I've not heard from her, I assume she's not interested- or she may be on vacation. Will probably get a response sometime in February. Could be a perfect place to play. There is absolutely no one around at 5-6pm on a Friday night.
Dear Ms. Jacobs,
I live near the Promenade in Westchester. I know that you have hosted music in your outdoor area occasionally. I'm interested in producing a weekly performance series in the spring once it warms up. I have sound equipment to accommodate a smallish venue performance and am interested in working with young Los Angeles talent. Most young talent would perform at no cost with the idea of selling cds and/or tshirts or just working for tips. I am willing to organize and provide sound for free. I'm also a performer and would be interested in performing myself as a small piece of the series. Your ability to advertise the events incorporated into your own media outreach would be a important boon. It might be advantageous to be able to store sound equipment on location there.
The series would open to all styles of music, but I'm inclined toward acoustic folk, jazz, mellow pop and smaller groups. One would screen for acceptability and ability and music that a large age range would find enjoyable.
I've done this kind of thing before in a couple of clubs and I was working with the Westchester First Fridays Food Truck event for a while in a similar capacity.
I'm 60, work for USC in the Marina as a Business Manager, married with grown children and own a house in Westchester.
The price of this could only be a win-win for everyone.
Thanks for your consideration.

New Plan
Westchester First Fridays has taken me up on my offer to organize their music. So's I'm going to try it out. We will see if there is some reciprocity out there to be had. So far, very little, when I invited people I knew to come and split the bill with me before. But the thought is, maybe there's few souls out there that might want to collaborate.
