Nice job! Daryl

SATURDAY! She's Right - I'm Left at MOTOR Bar & Restaurant 5:30-8:30pm! Bourbon and BBQ specials! We’ll provide the tunes! This Harley gigs are starting to concern me. The crowds have been weak the last two times we've played there. 6 out of 30 diner tables were filled. Daryl

You too, Dave. Keep us posted on the status of the Glam band Daryl

Hi Dave, At 71, I feel more intimidated than special. Most folks that come to our shows are in the same boat as me. Just trying to eek by in life with a little dignity. Lol Daryl

That sounds like fun Dave. We mingle a lot with people. As a matter of fact it's something we're expected to do during breaks. However, we're approaching people typically they're not approaching us. I guess for us some of it depends on the gig and the vibe. If everything is going well we might get a few selfie requests. Daryl

I keep hoping one of our gigs turns into something like any of the scenes in the United Artists 1964 movie " A Hard Days Night ". Is that too much to ask? It's going to be a long wait. Lol Daryl

After almost 60 years playing bass I can still have bad gigs where I couldn't get it together. Especially if I'm playing with a marginal dep drummer. Daryl

Wow! Fancy Daryl

At theater shows after our set, I'll wonder around in the lobby. Hopefully it never gets to the point where I have to announce; " Nobody's leaving here until somebody talks to me" lol Daryl

"Hey Daryl Inventors would like us back on Friday April 11, 6-9pm👍🏻👍🏻. Bob "

It really is a cool thing if anybody wants to talk to me about anything. 😃 Daryl

Dave, As you know I'm an attention seeker. The high point of the evening was when I was taking a break and a guy approached me a started telling me about his wife who played bass and his guitar collection. My response, " I get it. You just wanted to talk to me and that's completely understandable. " LOL The other thing that concerned me. I had dyed my hair earlier that day, which I've been doing for years. However as I was walking around I didn't hear one person say " Hey look, a young person ". A sad state of affairs .lol Daryl

Stairs are a luxury for us. I know what you mean about the position of the drums. However, there was a small opening and I could get to the other side of the stage. Daryl

Dave, It was a very nice room. It was a huge and nicely appointed. It's right on the marina overlooking lake Michigan. Even little things like stairs to access the stage are important to me now. We had a lot of fans turn out and the venue made money. They sold a $h!t ton of food and booze last night. I hope we can get re-booked. Daryl

Dave, I think going with no amp and DI straight to the PA will help. Last night my monitor sounded like an amp. Good clean volume for me on stage . I'm not sure if it's worth it to invest in one of those high end dedicated bass DI pre amps. I'm lucky I don't have to drive. However riding in the van means I have to help unload and load. Last night loading and unloading when it's 20° was rough. Daryl
