False, alas... I'd settle for finding a job this month. Even a part-time one. Music doesn't pay the bills anymore, alas. (Well, to be honest, it never did... the way to make a small fortune in the music business is to start with a large one. Sigh.)
TPBM is wishing that shops would hold off playing the Christmas music at least until after Remembrance Day. (I'm still disgusted that Hamilton, Ontario, is having its Santa Claus parade the day before Remembrance Day. Couldn't they wait a week and give the veterans the respect and honour they deserve?)
