    Those main stage slots usually have nothing to do with how good a band is. In the States the major festival main stage slots are all about who you know. Blue

    I've seen a lot worse set ups. We played a restaurant that books live music . It was so small we couldn't bring in lights or sound. But the place was packed and the crowd was fantastic. A good engaged crowd will make up for a lot of other evils we have to deal with. Blue

    You guys really value free food at gigs. Must be a cultural thing I never eat at gigs. I did get a $75. 00 gift certificate from our New Year's Eve gig. I like that. Blue

    When your an old timer like me that learned songs from moving that needle back and fourth on a machine called a " record player" YouTube song tutorials are great. However, I know the type . The type that would rather not learn the material than look at a YouTube clip showing you exactly how to play a song. That would be way to much work. Blue

    This is a stretch, but if your playing with guys that have traditional full time jobs and family, the band will never be a priority to them. Blue

    Nice, Sunday afternoon gigs can because hit or miss. Blue

    That's the way to do it. Nice story Blue

    I must sound like a broken record People want different things out of a band. Some guys want very little, just the opportunity to play/ rehearse once a week is enough. Some guys want a lot, specific genre, gigs booked and money. Age matters, a would think what a 21 years old is looking for might be different than what a 60 year old wants. My point is, if you don't know what your looking for more than likely you will be disappointed Blue

    The only decent resource for publically advertised opportunities we have is MilwaukeeRocks. The Bass Player Wanted section has had absolutely no opportunities for over 3 months. Blue

    I learned the hard way. Blue

    Sounds like it wasn't the right band for you. The drop D stuff should have been discussed prior to the audition. Me, If I don't completely own the audition material, I'll cancel BTW, none of this " heres our set list, pick 4 songs to audition" No way would I comply with that. You pick 4 songs and you find out too late they're songs they no longer play and don't even know anymore. I say, you tell me what songs you want me to audition. Blue

    I have always questioned the sound support acts get compared to the sound the actual star/headliner gets. Blue
  13. Bluewine
    To be honest ,my thing is cool small bars and clubs I've never felt comfortable on large stages. Blue
  14. Bluewine
    I've been lucky to play headliner stages at Summerfest, the world's largest music festival for the past 7 years. Blue

    Cool, I've heard about this fest. They get some acts from the States. Blue

    I'm still maintain my " you had to be there"position. However, all of the younger guests on the show we're inpressive and well versed. Blue

    Most bands never sell 500 units. I'm impressed with all the old bands that had a string of gold and platinum selling hits. Blue

    Sure, several of my high school Beatle fanatic friends have told me I should buy it. I accept their recommendation. Blue

    Wow, that is a really cool story about George. BTW, I love Abba. They made some historical AM radio driving pop recordings. Blue

    I feel the same way about remasters.However I plan on going downtown today and buying the current remastered White Album. Blue
  21. Bluewine
    Interesting, to me The Beatles aren't Revolver, Sgt. Pepper or The White Album. They're The Beatles. Blue
  22. Bluewine
    I think you can be "into the Beatles" at any age. Blue
  23. Bluewine
    I'll bend on 64, even more than that. 65 was used to make the title provocative. Really it's for anyone. However, I am not sure there are many Beatles Fans on BC. The host is really good and Giles Martin's insights are really cool. The guests are pretty good too. Blue
  24. Bluewine
    Well, you were 10 years old when they hit big world wide, that's old enough. However, if your not a fan of or have an interest the White Album, I think it would be boring. Blue
  25. Bluewine
    Really this is only for old hardcore Beatles Fans, actually for fans of the White Album. I think the content would be boring to anyone not familiar with the material and time period.And it's a very long discussion. For fans I think this British presentation is fantastic, best I've ever seen. Yes, I know it's to sell the new remastered White Album. It's still great stuff. CG85fF-CZBI Blue
