I made $120 in tips.




Isn't it proper to share tips with the wait-staff (bartender), or am I wrong on that??



I never gave that a thought however don't they get their own tips.I also play for a Charity so if I have to pay everyone off there's nothing left.

If Skank-o-rama shared bartending tips with him, yes. But that needs to be understood beforehand, and I doubt if either party would agree to have their tips rely on how well the other party did their job. From what he said, Lydia the Tattooed Lady doesn't sound like the type to give up a dime of her tips. She may be saving up to get a spider tattooed on the side of her neck or something....


I smashed the hell out of my car today. When the cops came I told him "Officer, that guy was BOTH texting and drinking a beer." The cop said "Sir, he has every right to do that. I mean, it's HIS living room..."

I just came back from talking to the HEAD bartender who'll be working with the owner tonight. I explained the situation and apologized if I somehow made some error of etiquette by not tipping the night bartender.The head said she'd talk it over with the owner and see what can be done.We'll see how they respond. There also opening another place in the next Town over.
OH!Did I mention that when I play for the Chamber of Commerce dinner at the end of the month that the Humane Society will be there as well as the publisher from the paper and they are going to do an interview about my playing music to raise money for the animals. It'll give me a chance to thank all the businesses that are supporting me. You know what I'm sayin'?

Now that is a good idea - dang you still got it.

I do know some bars share tips, but it is generally pre-agreed and percentages set. But here is what I have seen and done and it works well...

John, you have the mic. The Bar patrons are listening to you. So put a plug out there for the "...hot, artsy young thing mixin and servin your drinks", ".. if you like the music, tips are appreciated to the struggling musicians (and their pets), and if you like your drink or how well it is delivered to you, let the bartender and staff know with a tip, remember while you are out drinkin and listen to music, they are working hard to be sure you have a good safe time, You will feel better and so will they". Then launch into a home spun version of "love the one your with... "

I did mention tipping the bartender & waitress.That's been SOP for almost 50 years for me.BUT when I was done loading up and sat down at the bar for a drink & she served me and brought the free pizza I ordered to take home I should of just handed her a $10 & said thanks.Sometimes we old goats forget some of these things.They don't share tips per say. That I know.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
