A realisation.....

[Bilbo]

I spent the weekend trying to find a dep for a Jazz gig (double bass) I cannot do at relatively short notice (family issue). I had to ring 9 guys before I found one who could do it. THen it dawned on me. I am everyone's 9th call guy and they were all busy because they had been called before me and I had been the 9th guy called for the gig I had!!

Bugger!

I have heard your clips Bilbo, if you are ninth I am about the millionth!

Sit down, take a deep breath, pour yourself a stiff drink and tell yourself that they were all playing with their regular bands and you, are still the No1 dep call [size=4] [/size]

[Bilbo]

Yeah! The other guys are REALLY good!!

You might be the first guy on the eighth guy's list!

At least you didn't call me. Things weren't even close to desperate :-)

Double bass gig, Pete. I didn't think you played double bass?

[pete.young]

Yes I do, but not to the standard that would be required to dep for the kind of stuff that you do.

At least I know now. What kind of gigs are you looking for on it?
