That explains it--that did sound like pretty good pay for one gig! I'd guess you'd have to play pretty often to make decent money at that. It was nice you got to make some money this time around, at least! :)
Which reminds me, I still have to fix my guitar. The screw holding one of the tuning keys on came loose and got lost, so right now one string doesn't work--sigh. . .
Been moving hay bales this afternoon to re-set up my archery range. I had to take it down for the winter because I needed the hay bales to cover up the septic tank so it didn't freeze over. Now that the weather's (relatively) warmer I finally got around to moving them back, and they were all waterlogged and much heavier than when I moved them originally. There were about a dozen, so I got a good workout from it--tempted to count that as my aerobic exercise for the day, LOL!
