This past Saturday night, my friend Brooks hooked me up with an actual paying gig. ‘Twas a church-based event in the “back yard” of one filthy-stinkin’-unbelievably-incredibly-extremely-rich couple. I’m talkin’, beyond comprehension, type of rich folk.

My jobs included hauling ice, picking up trash and golf-cartin’ rich folk to and from their cars. The palatial mansion, in which these really really really really really rich people live, has about an acre and a half of yard that pretty much slopes down to the banks of White Rock Lake. It was magnificent.

They had set-up a stage that rivaled the AAC, the back-drop being White Rock Lake.

A famous Australian Christian artist had been flown in to entertain at this fabulous shindig, by the name of Nathan Tasker. A talented and extremely nice fella.

I’d guesstimate that about 150-200 people showed up with picnic baskets, blankets and li’l ones in tow to enjoy a night on the rich dude’s lawn.

I couldn’t help but think about some of our local artists that would wow this Highland Park crowd, the same way that Nathan did. So I’ve figured it out. All we need is a really huge palatial mansion with a good acre-n-a-half, the Park Cities’ phone book and a couple of golf carts….that’ll save the music scene…yeah…that…

PS: If anyone asks, I am for hire. Full time. Part time. Whatever, just something that pays.
