A buddy of mine here is a drummer. Yamaha give him his drums. He tours with different bands, and it's all he's ever done.

Rockaoke! All the gear is setup. You get to sit in. Bring your axe. Drumsticks. Voice.

So the band plays, you sit in (even if one of them sits out), and you have Rockaoke!

That's how he fills in the Sunday to Wednesday slots when there's no work.

He tells me, once he got the gear hundreds of decent guitar players want to play. You just can't make money doing it. This way, only he gets paid. The guitar players have to know a standard repetoire they learn first.

Alas they start at 10 p.m. I'm in bed. No matter where I am, LOL.
