It doesn't take much.
Just a few words.
And a great attitude.
And beautiful harmonies. 
My work over the weekend as a sound engineer paid off handsomely (to me). And the end of the gig, I was paid an extra $50, invited back for next year 
AND I got to meet these two lovely ladies...who went that extra step and let me know that I was appreciated.
So now, of course, I am raving about The Honey Vines...and hoping they are invited back next year as well.
Give this a listen...two girls, one acoustic guitar, one harmonica...and one very happy sound guy.

I was so impressed with their talent...I wish I could take credit for it, but all I did was record...they gave me the great sound to work with

They knew I was recording, I promised to make them copies.
It's not often I get a shout-out, and I have never had one of that caliber before.

Yeah, that's an old standard originally by Woody Guthrie. Heather & Marty did a good version of it.

They actually ended up taking the recordings I made and releasing a live CD with them

Wow, that was a very nice tribute to the sound man. They sound like very nice ladies with great talent. I can see why it was an enjoyable weekend to work and listen to them.

Good for you!
I'm sure the extra $50 was something you deserve to earn. Being invited back next year is a compliment on how well you accomplished your task.
Thanks for sharing the video of 'The Honey vines'. Will listen to them in a bit.
