There is so few events that cater to the Latin crowd in terms of Salsa, and New York where it was so strong it has been really slow for the most part. There is still a few little bars in the Bronx that do live music, but in Manhattan there is barely nothing going on. I was lucky enough to perform in the Bronx last week with this new local band so hopefully we can pull more gigs.
It's all over since the late 80's it started to go down and today there is really nothing I move out of New York 6 years ago and there was nothing . And here were i live now its even worst, I did one gig just for the fun of it and it does not call my attention any more, back in the 60s 70's I worked 7 day a week and doubled and tripled at times plus i travel 2,3 times a month. I prefer to stay home and not work at all.
Here is a calculation of one night.
suit to cleaners $12.00
press a shirt $6.00
Gas $65.00 full tank
Beer $8.00
stiff drink $12.00
you find a chick at the place you are working and off of courtesy you buy her a drink $20.00 remember she friends with the owner of club so she picks the most expensive drink .
at the end of night she recommends of going to her house but you don't trust smart move go to hotel $75.00 have all the fun in the world.
morning drive her home or pay a cab $20.00
now it your turn what you tell the wife why you did not come home . car broke down bla bla bla
2 months later she looks you up to tell you she is pregnant or has a disease WOW! now the problem starts. How you tell your wife of the problem . That nothing the real problem come later when wife sends divorce and strips you of every thing and then you get a letter from child support to take your whole check and wife's lawyer wants alimony .
How much did you make that night ? $100.00
I'll stay home
