Well, I figured it was at least worth asking.
It's funny when you think about that whole fame and "making it" thing with the music industry.
Doug was right in the thick of it - played the Ed Sullivan show, found Zsa Zsa Gabor's dog for her, shared the stage with all kinds of famous people...and it dried up on him and he's doing much the same thing that I'm doing - working a regular day job and gigging on the weekends. In fact, when compared to some of the other "stars" and hit groups from that time frame, in some ways he's doing better than they are, at least from a money per gig standpoint. New Monopoly commands top dollar in the Baltimore/DC area, even if we are only a wedding/party cover band, and that money is often better than what some of those vintage hit groups are making per gig.
