Now that there's an on-line marketing department I can sleep at night.

On the other hand, sure I want ? and the mysterians to get pgmusic to make me 96 tears cover style, but I only play 3 of those summer gigs. I donate the money, it's usually a fund raiser anyways.

But I can play block organ chords with a G triad and then C7 triad 8 to the bar and everyone on the planet over 55 knows the song.

I think a few guys ought to google Oliver Gannon and Peter Gannon to see that this is not a rock and roll family. There is cross over, sure, but really.

It would take a very large business case to determine if the rock guys open the wallet, and then decide what happens then. In my experience a guy with a guitar shows up and wants you got give him a cable(s) extra for the floor do dads, and then retune the darn band to his axe. Then all night it's turn it up up up, drives me nuts.

Anyway, I don't need a huge rock band to play "Which way you goin' billy", or "Blowin in the Wind."

I don't get the business case. I just see struggling guys with old pickups and a guitar showing up at someone's farm for a 'party'. They keep every nickle of the 100 if they get it. Spend in on Band in a Box?

Maybe your upper middle jazz cats are a better market. I never spent a lot of time thinking about it.
