Another musical interlude

I've had further messages from the owner of the hall where I was due to play yesterday. She is coming to see me at the event I'm playing at on Saturday, and is bringing the Women's Institute lady with her. It's looking good! I hope something will come of it. I allow the pub to take advantage of me out of sheer necessity. I know my worth. As soon as I start getting bookings that pay me properly, the pub won't see my arse for dust. I'm very encouraged by the fact that my reputation is spreading by word of mouth.
