Swanman, That's a major score! Folks, the Magic Bag is one of the top locations in Detroit area. Many nationally known acts have played there and continue to play there. I would say swanman is being humble here with his post. Take a look at their lineup for the rest of the summer: http://www.themagicbag.com/hot.htm Dr. John, Savoy Brown, Taylor Hicks (that's the soul dude from American Idol from a couple seasons ago), Now swanny is going to play! Congrats. Practice like the wind! -Scott

Congrats Swanman!
I'm happy for you! Should be a nice audience for you. I really believe your musicianship would appeal to most any age. Break a leg.

Welcome to the real world of music!
Things like this happen. Just keep playing and keep trying. You are a super talent.
Unfortunately they are the ones who are losing out. You would have knocked them dead for sure.

Suddenly I realized how many proctologists are on the road.

Their loss for sure; you would've done great!
Unfortunatly a lot of people don't feel bound to their own words. Nowadays it's important to get it in printing.

Welcome to our world, man.
Thick skin.
Grow a good thick one, it comes in handy.
There will be another day.
So don't burn your bridges with that particular place, just keep on keepin' on.

You'll get it, Swanny, and then once they hear you, you'll be there lots.

I'm blessed watching God do what He does best. I've had a few rough years, and I'm still not back to where I want to be, but I'm on the way and things are looking far better now than what they were!
