So we are having out first bout of serious winter weather here in Arkansas. It can be nasty here at time and we had a particularly bad storm in 2009 so we are all a little paranoid. Hopefully, this round is not as serious but it has a bad look to it. Unfortunately, for me it means that students have cancelled, the gig tonight was postponed and my gig for tomorrow has been cancelled. The weekend is looking iffy for brunch and a personal gathering and another gig next week many be cancelled. It is tough when you have worked hard to prepare for these gigs and they are cancelled – along with the resulting income. The downside to being self-employed. But right now I’m happy to be sitting by my fireplace.
