Spaced

Will either festival sell out? I wouldn’t bet on it. The Clint Black show coming up at the Arkley Center sold out, however. And my guess is folks will snap up tickets for the A-Center’s recently announced Aug. 4 appearance by The Doobie Brothers, even if it is the Monday after Reggae.

With the concert business in trouble, and CD sales slipping, how’s a musician going to make a living? Hard to say, but there are plenty of folks out there making music, whether they get paid or not. Take a look around MySpace, you’ll find them.
