Ever since I became owner of Monkey Business Singing Telegrams I have made 'deals' with my clients.  In all fairness I did anything to make business work.  What does that mean?  It means sometimes giving away free services to a family who was in need.  It means calling people's children, husband, wife, coworker, teacher, Doctor or mailman to sing a special request.  It means going to the store to pick up a favorite ice cream, candy, wine, etc. 
Bartering is something that I have offered.  Picking up money from people at their work, at their business are often things I have done even without this virus in place.  What I do not do?  I do not take checks.  I do not bill.  I get paid before or at the gig.  I am a service business for humans.  It doesn't matter what color you are, how much money you make or how many people attend your party or event.  People want to love on their friends, their family and their neighbors.  I commend people who are trying to get back to a normal and not walk in fear.  It is not easy but it can be done.  We all should celebrate more often.  Life is way too short!!
My clients range  from very successful people to people on welfare.  It doesn't matter what they make.  We entertain all kinds of people in all communities in Charlotte and the surrounding area.

I am here and I thank the Charlotte community for keeping me in business for so long. 
Thank you!
