A subtlety not spoken is: Don't tune or show off your latest licks between songs! Nothing detracts from an otherwise professional performance more than that. Tommy calls it "losing momentum" with your audience. It's difficult or impossible to recover that momentum again.



I ate at a restaurant that had live music last Friday, and the band diddled around for 30 minutes or more before starting to play. Very unprofessional. And it wasn't even impressive diddling!

I would rather have heard an enthusiastic guy (or gal) with backing tracks and his act together than this band.






There are a lot of those kind of players around. They usually start late, take too-long breaks, and drink booze on stage. That's a job opportunity for you. Approach the manager, and hand him a business card - preferably while the "band" is still diddling around.
