To return to the OP's topic:
It's a good article, Pat. I think that every point he makes is valid, and can make the difference between your band being asked back or blackballed.
Regards,
Bob

Thanks Pat. Feels good to be back.
And to go OT again: there's truth in the original link. All things mentioned in the article are just a normal practice and the only way to do things. It doesn't matter if you earn your pay gigging or you are playing for fun: be professional about your gig! If you don't take it seriously, how do you expect another person to take it seriously?

Way OT, but hey Mike - you guys really know how to brew beer. Having a Heineken right now. Oh, to be in Amsterdam in Spring!

Omg... Poor fellow... You consider Heineken to be good beer? We drink it if no real beer is available... It is like calling a Big Mac a great burger... Not even close and no cigar...
The Dutch do make great beers, and so do the Germans. But the real Kings of Beer are the Belgians. They have perfected brewing into a form of art.
Wayyyy off topic now I'm afraid :-)

there are songs about beer, so it can't ever be completely off topic in a music forum...
"99 bottles of beer on the wall... 99 bottles of beer..."

+1 to not drink Heineken.
I prefer the beer from small local breweries, often the beer is brewed in their own restaurant. A trend that has started in the 1980s (at around 1985 the first one that I know has opened in Stuttgart, Germany).
No matter what product -- here it is beer -- if a brewery is bought by a competitor, it's product is prone to vanish from the market. The name may continue to exist. (In Switzerland: After Feldschlösschen has bought Hürlimann, Feldschlösschenbottles boasted a brewing tradition since 1500-something, the year Hürlimann has started. Then Hürlimann was closed, several years later the brand was gone... and Feldschlösschen had been bought by an international competitor.)
That reminds me of another beer song that we never again may hear by it's originator unless it is from an old recording:
There's a tear in my beer...

Wayyyy off topic now I'm afraid :-) I have the most plebian tastes. Cheap beer and good Caribbean rum makes for a happy pirate crew. I realize that Euroland has us beat on beer. Wanna talk whiskey?

A tax preparer was helping some customers. The first guy comes in and the tax man asks him, "How much money did you make last year?" The guy answers, "Oh, about $100,000" "Gee, that's good! What do you do?" "I'm a lawyer for a big corporation, etc." So the tax man finishes up with him and the next guy comes in. "How much money did you make last year?" "I made $150,000 dollars." "Oh really? What do you do?" "Well, I'm the head doctor at this big hospital . . ." And so the taxman finishes with him. The third guy comes in and the taxman asks him, "How much money did you make last year?" The guy answers, "Well, last year was a pretty good year, I made about $9,000." The tax man asks him, "Oh, really? What instrument do you play?"

I realize that Euroland has us beat on beer. Wanna talk whiskey? Careful, Bob. Half my family is Scottish - don't get me started on about whiskey! (The other half is French, so better not talk wine either.) ROG.

I have the most plebian tastes. Cheap beer and good Caribbean rum makes for a happy pirate crew. I realize that Euroland has us beat on beer. Wanna talk whiskey? Good beer doesn't need to be expensive. And there are quite a few breweries in your country who make excellent beer. This beer, of course, is not to be found in [put the name of your favorite store chain] stores. You will find it in small bars and restaurants, usually built around the brewery -- go exploring off the tourist path, chase the sleepers. Euroland is much older and mature than the Americas depending beer, wine, whisk[e]y, cheese..., sometimes almost always we have more restrictive laws, but that doesn't mean that you don't have good stuff. The real good stuff is just mady by little shops where the value of the company is not the talk of the stock broker. The value of their goods is cherished by satisfied local customers. During my few travels to the U.S. I have found some excellent foods and drinks. Don't envy us. Just don't buy what the marketing staff of, e.g. Anheuser-Busch tells you.

My first night in Germany, as a 19 year old GI, I went out and drank a case of 20 German biers.
I wish someone had warned me.
I lost the WHOLE NEXT DAY!!! I got up a few times to puke and went back to bed. I have never been that drunk again. That bier went down SO EASY. Funny how it came back up a lot harder.....
And I got in trouble for missing a day of military activity....

I'm an American. I don't envy anyone. Certainly not Europeans. Here, we have the best from every country. In Manhattan alone you can taste food and drink from all over the world. Deutschland even!
