free bass,and freedom hotel gig

well, a few months ago a young french invester (paul) came to rainy season bar.he dumped about $8000 into making improvments ,built a new toilet,covered the lounge upstairs,and buying 3 guitars,mics and drums and thought musicians would just come out of the woodwork and jump at the oppertunitity to have a place to jam,drink and have fun. the problem is that alot of new bars have been built and not so many tourists showing up this season. the rs bar is a little off the beaten track,the location is not that good. the only time people would show up is when live music (me) on tuesdays and fridays,and that has not been bringing people in very much the last 2 weeks or so.....anyways paul gave up and walked away from his investment.just packed a bag and left said hes not coming back! i cought him just as he was leaving and asked to buy his bass guitar from him.(the black one in picture) he said "just take it,its yours now" i said well let me give you $25 dollars for it,he said no,im giving it to you.i said thanks! now i own 3 guitars. ...more good news,tonight we (our 3 piece band that i play bass in) is booked at the freedom hotel in the middle of downtown.we told the owner about 3 weeks ago what to buy to have live music in his bar,p.a. system,amps,drums, and he did it,got just what we said to get. this place is very popular,always has alot of customers,there could be 50-100 people tonight,we had a sound check yesterday,a few cliches but sounded ok,we play from 10:00 pm to 1:00 with 2 breaks, money not so bad,this is a big thing for us,we are still the only live music in this town and i started it back in july at the frog shack playing by myself with my solo act that i dont like to do anymore,but im getting by,have some money saved, and things are ok for now,im a bit nervous about tonight,but im sure they will love us....i hope!,love ya,talk soon.
