I knew this and he assured me that he wasn't going to do an Elvis show any more.... first night on stage, about the 3rd song in.... he says... "gimme a G chord boys"... and whips into "Well its a one for the money, two for the show....." Wasn't on the set list and we hadn't worked it up in practice. Suddenly, a dozen EP songs were on the set list every night. (gag me) Then he comes up a few weeks later and says, "Hey, I booked a New Years Eve gig for some good money.... but they want the full EP show.... suit, scarves, hair....we gotta get you guys some tuxes " I quit the band soon thereafter because I said, hey, if we're gonna do that crap, we ought to do it right and work it up.... he disagreed and didn't feel we needed to rehearse any of it.... so I left before I was fitted for a tux.

But I digress.....

Your song is cool...as far as EP goes.

Herb I truly understand...I do appreciate your honesty. There are a lot of top performers throughout the years I have little interest in myself. It would be hard for me to give a non-bias assessment of some artist that falls in that category but as far as the people on this forum I would look at their accomplishments as you did and avoid the well known artist. I enjoyed your story and I can see why there would be frustration...I have played in three different bands (many years ago) and what you went through would be the end for me also. Too bad you didn't wait and get the tux and then leave (just kidding).
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
