Nice crowd! Daryl

The room looks packed. Nice Daryl

Great pic! Really nice. Daryl

I don't think so. As long as you knew what you personally were looking for in a band. For me the 50 mile round trip would have been an issue. The deal breaker for me would have been the no gigs on the books. My question use to be how many gigs has the band played in the last 6 months and how many new gigs are booked. It sounds like it was a start up band. Daryl

I've always been a CT fan. They're hometown boys. I was going to their shows when they were still playing bars. Stood right next to Rick Neilson at a Jeff Beck show at Turner Hall. Daryl

Yes, Fahrenheit. Daryl

Hi Dave, Here’s a little more info on the tipping culture over here. While we command a nice fee for a 4 peice, the tips just make the gig a little more lucrative. Tips can turn a $150.00 a man gig into a $200.00 a man deal. Tips are acceptable, actually expected by the venue and the punters. Here are our exceptions. We don't use the tip jar at Theatre gigs, charities or private events events. Obviously the Tips are much better when you're playing to the more affluent clientele. If you’re playing at Freddie's on Martin Luther King Blvd and Cherry St. there won't be any tips. You'll be more worried about if your car will still be there at the end of the night. Lol I'm getting my hair cut today and trying to figure out how much I can afford to tip my barber.lol The pic is my new AI band . Lol Daryl

It's -5° right now and will be colder by Friday. Daryl

They canceled the Legion Hall fish fry acoustic gig this Friday due to cold weather. Daryl

I plan on going into it super positive and staying there. I just hope we're a match for the room. Daryl

Acoustic gig Friday night. Guys, I'm not good with Legion Halls. I haven't played one in awhile. In the past they've always reminded me of an Assistant Living Facility or what we use to call Old Folks Home. OMG, and it's a 7-9 show. Daryl

Nice! Daryl

I think that pic was on my other current thread. I don't remember removing it . Here's another AI pic Daryl

I think that's great for those who are not in this for the money. I can't afford to play the music I'm interested in . If We did we'd get no bookings. Daryl

A lot of bands struggle with this. Songs you like vs songs the crowd wants to hear. At the local regional mid market level fairs and festivals, playing songs the crowd likes and knows is always a winner We have a few songs that I think we should drop from our set list. Daryl
