BETSY
John is a musician and a salesman. Except he hasn’t worked in over a year. Meanwhile he’s supporting himself with band gigs, playing guitar. “I play most Fridays and Saturdays. Come out and see me.” And he lists the venues for the next three weeks. Since we were on the phone, it was easy to fake writing down all the dates. Well, no risk on his part, right? He can sit on stage, play his guitar, and look cool. While looking me over. Nice.
