> Then Octobre came and the covid cases were rising skyhigh again,higher then in March. So, tighter rules fell upon us all here again. But, since we had our own venue, sort of, we could keep on playing music, recording cd's and within two weeks, we decided to do life streamings. So, since that desicion, we are now, playing life streamings every week, sometimes up to two days a week. So, we were the only orchestra here in Belgium, doing that. But we are known not to hang our heads.For us, this was just another moment to show our persistance and do things differently.
> But traveling abroad will not happen, probably not untill the end of this year. We might go play in other cities here, but not outside the country. Let's hope, with the vaccins, things will brighten up soon.
> I will only work less than 3 months, retiring the first of April, so, i will not withness closely, the revival of cultural activities.Pity, but you know, i will not hang my head down. Life streaming is the way to go for now, and i am wondering why Uriah Heep doesn't do it.

>> Don has a point. Transiberian Orchestra tours every Christmas season and rakes in millions. This year no tour, so on December 18 they did a steaming concert. They played at an empty venue did the full concert and sold the steam for $30 per device.  
>> Say Heep did that, did a concert and sold a 1000 streams, that is $30,000 USD for one show. $6k each for one night!!
