Bilbo Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 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!

pete.young Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 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 :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete.young Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Yes I do, but not to the standard that would be required to dep for the kind of stuff that you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
