Same here!

If you read the crowd correctly and play what they want you will get many gigs. Been there - done that.

Also be selective on taking gigs. For example we turned down a few gigs as all they wanted was country songs. We have a large repertoire, had fake books, and could jam but we were not the kind of country band they wanted. We were up front with them and they appreciated that.


My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.
