Default Acoustic guitar/vocals only, how often do you get booked?

Only for people who don't use tracks and/or a drum machine...how often are you booked to gigs that pay at least $200? Are there certain gigs (for example Friday or Saturday 10-2) that you avoid?

Been out of the game a long time so interested to see the responses.
But there was a time, in tourist areas, $150-$200 for 4 sets of covers was standard. Perhaps A bit less deepening on the area and season

We book about 150 gigs a year for $150 an hour. We're a duo with me on guitar and wife on vocals.

Lots and lots of competition around here. Not many $200 solo gigs, but you can hit that if you count tips plus your pay.
