I Knead Your Love So Bad - Fleetwood Mac

I guess I'm in the situation that I don't need gigs to get by, but a lot of others do. They want to play stuff that gets you plenty of gigs which narrows everything down a lot. For instance, if you're playing covers, there are plenty of artists that I love their stuff, but it's always the most obvious songs that get picked. If you're going to do a Free song, is it law that it has to be Alright Now? There are dozens of other Free songs I'd love to play, but never do. As for musical styles, I'd love to play some Latin stuff or some Jazz Funk, but that won't ever fill up the Dog and Duck on a Saturday night, or so I've been told for the past 25 years.

Hark the Herald Angels Sing - Trad

Little Red Corvette - Prince

I do it because I like playing music, I enjoy the social aspects of gigging and it gets me out and about. I don't have to get what I want and it is also a small source of income. I also often say that it's the only time in my life when people have applauded, cheered, stomped their feet at something I've done, which is kinda nice.

Moreso in the music I'd like to play but never get the chance. I get so tired of the same old stuff on every set list of just about every band I've played in, but the punters down the Dog & Duck never seem to tire of it.

Always got great results from the Tascam DR 05

Can you put it in the effects loop of your amp and have it at a more convenient height?
