Just curious, Walter. Does your band ever come to the states, and NYC in particular? Love to see you guys too!
We've done it in the past, twice in the Southwest, once just the "Rockin' 50's fest" in Green Bay, Wisconsin, but it's a bigger undertaking than it seems.
It's almost impossible to get four guys with instruments into the U.S. without work permits, is problem number one. Getting those is a tedious, long, and expensive process.
Add the cost of plane tickets, transportation inside the U.S., and other various expenses on the road, and with the "not so rockstar money" you get for playing roots music in little venues, it's almost impossible to just break even, let alone make a little money. Add the current dollar/Euro exchange rate to that, and even just the idea of organizing another U.S. tour makes me a little dizzy.
So it's not that we don't want to, the two little tours we did were a LOT of fun, but it's almost impossible to put together at this time. We're broke enough as it is... :lol:
