To me, I'd rather have one exceptional open mic performance than a 100Personal Messages. But hey, if everyone is staying home, watching Youtube and no one is going out, then I guess "there goes THAT plan."

Thanks a lot, guys!

Its free marketing. I've played a few gigs and a session or two that resulted from being seen on YouTube. I put up an "infomercial" on YouTube about a guitar book I've written - its received over 200,000 views, I've sold lots of books from it, and a professor at Berklee is using my book with his students as a result of seeing my YouTube video. Not bad for having spent an hour making a video using my laptop's built in camera.
