Just wondering if I am the only one who would like to see a forum category dedicated to musicians who are currently, were or would like to be doing live shows/gigs using any PG Music Product?

So 1st of all if any of you fall into and one of those categories please give share your opinions. Who knows if they are enough of us PG Music might add a forum topic aimed at the cats here or cats to be here who still love the smell of "the free drinks and the request roar from the crowd"... OK I took liberties with that line.

Thanks,

Pat, Bob and Notes,

Thanks for your responses to this post and of course your willingness to participate in a gigging musician's forum topic. But I am thinking the numbers are just not here for the separate Forum Topic.

LMAO, so far we have four so I still hear the proverbial crickets. Maybe we can meet somewhere on the Gulf Coast from time to time to exchange battle stories, tips and share a cocktail or beer. Thanks.

Later Guys,

Yep! Made it home about a week ago! Thank YOU for your hospitality! You made it a great visit! (as did everybody I contacted... everyone's hospitality far exceeded my wildest expectations)

I hope y'all are making it thru tax season OK!

I'm still working on the videos I took while on the road.. expect to see some Kajun Jeaux studio videos pretty soon!

Danny,

even if we don't have a separate forum for Live performing discussions, we can easily create individual threads any time any of us has something interesting to say. Off topic forum would work.

We're getting to the stage in life where there'd probably be more participation in a forum about what people do with their time after they retire.

Speaking of which, I think I'll start that thread today...
wink
