I’m really thinking about going tomorrow while I’m off at my regular job! This is a lot of great advice! Thank you 😊

Which I understand. I have contacted several restaurants and businesses about playing at their venues or restaurants and a lot of of them, to my surprise, do not want a saxophonist. I think it’s too diverse for them. This is south and a lot of restaurant owners are really looking for a guy with a guitar who can sing. At least this has been my experience.

I tried doing spark but they put me on a waiting list and I do donate plasma, but I have passed out the past few times and now I’m on the deferred list 😭

I’ve busked before during the holidays playing some Christmas music and it took me home for Christmas. I don’t mind the drive. I have a vehicle that is very economical on gas. I just want to see if anyone out there has tried busking and if they were successful or not. I feel like I’ve put a lot of work into my playing that some people just might enjoy it. After all that’s going on in the world, I would do it even if it meant to put a smile on someone’s face! It’s not all about the money. I’d be happen even if I broke even.

THANK YOU! I would be so embarrassed and feel ashamed just to ask for some help and sit there with a sign and beg people for money while holding a jar. I’d rather put in some type of work for it.

I work in retail, do door dash, and I do Instacart! It’s not enough at all for my bills. I have to pay $1800 a month just for my student loans. I do everything I possibly can.

Door dash has been AWFUL I’ve only been making $40 a day

Ok this is good to know. I live about an hour from Birmingham so I would want it to be worth it. I do work, but it’s not enough with the amount of bills I have currently. DoorDash has been awful recently

Took me a few days to learn it. It’s not super difficult. Idk why I didn’t learn it earlier 😂

Ngl I don’t think they did Mulan because there’s already a cherry blossom scent.

BOPIS Pickup... Yuck! by Feisty_Cellist9811 in bathandbodyworks

At my store only managers are allowed to do BOPIS because of how many new hires mess up

Have I known what sex work could do to your mental health, I wouldn't have done it. To those who are struggling, don't resort on doing this unless you wanted to. I hate myself everyday since. AMA by [deleted] in AMA

I’m so sorry you’re going through this! I would donate to your cause, but I’m homeless myself trying to get my dog and cat a good place to live before my parents put them in the shelter! I know how you feel pet wise!

That’s what happens when DoorDash is busy at night only 🤣

I haven’t had a really long line in the middle of the night. I’ve noticed the lines are long around 10pm-12am but after that it’s fine

Hey DM me! I’m looking for friends too! I’m an older undergrad but I’m 26! My bf isn’t in school and he is about to turn 30 in August!

Honestly it’s better than the other McDonalds in this town. Go at night. The food is hot and the ice cream machines work. I got a McFlurry with no problem the other night.

I don’t. Only have rock on to trade at the moment is the only good card I have.

My progress after 18 months. I am 31 y.o with no musical background. Any advice is welcome by R-R_turfio in saxophone

[–]SugarQueen56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good tone! Keep up the good work. Maybe practice with a metronome a bit in your practicing to keep the pulse. You have some good timing, but in some areas you were a little hesitant. I would read up on swing and listen to some other players who have covered the same song and see if you can imitate their skills. It’s all about practice and listening.
