I DEMAND commitment! We rehearse when I say we rehearse and anything short of your own death is not a valid reason to miss one. Don't even THINK you are going to come to my rehearsal with your McDonald's bag and eat your lunch on my time. Change your guitar strings at home before you get to rehearsal. Music starts at noon, not 20 after. You punch a time clock at your job. You punch one here too. It's called commitment. And that's MISTER [Email]B@stard[/Email] to you.




Hey I worked for you!!!!

Seriously, I was a hired side man for 5 or 6 years of my career in music for radio & fair circuit performances by a certain act, and I treated it just like the job it was, and did all the things that you mentioned. The practices were paid also, it is called a biz and to make $$ in it you treat it as such.

If you are demanding something like this for your "once a year show", and are not paying, good luck. Just an IMHO...

The reality of this is that most of the time this stuff is just a given to every musician that does make a living playing, it's called being a pro. It IS hard to find committed folks for ANY project anymore, that is for sure....the old work ethic for ANY job, be it laying train track or serving food, is no more....
