I remember my Great Grandma leaving a key under the mat for myself and others when I was a kid, just as all of the other houses did.
I bet you could walk down a street and find 12 keys under mats, and if you were a thief you could just walk into a house using their own key and just steal away.
My mother does the same thing, although he is a bit lazier, he just leaves the keys on the ground outside the door in plain view. Pretty funny. So today is Monday and Sam and I will play tunes outside this local company later on before sunset, then after sunset Sam and I will go stand beside this oil furnace in this quiet diner and eat our dinner while we talk about our show we just did. Sam and I are still trying to find our sound, which varies from show to show, but we are having fun during the process and making a little bit of currency. My mom is in the Heating and A/C industry, and every time I do a show he asks the same thing; didja make any currency? Mom doesn’t quite understand how it works for an artist, as he has been laboring in the heating and cooling industry for so long that he is out of the loop of why a tunesian does what they do. I just enjoy playing live music, and while it is nice to acquire a little currency too, that is not why I do it. Maybe 1 day, playing inside air conditioned clubs and ski resorts with oil furnaces keeping us comfy, we will get paid a hefty chunk of currency to do what we love.
