   Your dulcimers are beautiful, with or without finish, Doug. )

   I know what you mean about being asked to work for free. My neighbor said “I should have you fix my outdoor bench.” I told him he could probably save some money by just buying a new one. His reponse was “Well, I wasn’t going to pay you!”

   And I can’t tell you the number of people who’ve asked me to draw their portrait (gratis). *sigh*

   I guess a lot of people think that if someone enjoys the work they do then it must be something they only do for fun.
   A line I hear a lot when asked to play for free is that “it would be great exposure.” Well, people have died of exposure!

   All the best,

   Doug

   My grandfather would tell folks who said thank you that a cat died on thanks.
   I never figured out what exposure was supposed to do. If I give you a quilt or beaded item, I can sell the others at the event without paying a commission?
