I thought about you, Bob last night. Usually, the only way to get me into a bar is to pay me...lol

Being new here in Sebring and wanting to get out of the house with my wife, we took a short drive downtown. I saw a bar made from an old gas station and a duo called "He Said She Said". We stopped for a few and drank a beer. I don't remember the last time I drank a beer...lol

The guy could play guitar well, and both could sing well. Everything was sequenced and well enough put together but pretty simplistic. It was too loud for the place, and the high end of the mix was not good. I guess things never get mixed very well without a sound person.

They had a nice-looking class-A motor home with a trailer behind them for the stage gear. It was apparent they had been doing this for a good while.

I did not speak to them so I don't know what their story is. They looked like they were trying hard to do the best job that they could. I got the idea that this is how live gigging musicians survive in today's world.

Well...no sax and no B3, not even recorded horn stabs. Nothing in a bar that would support that I guess.

Hope you and your wife are doing well.

Billy


“Amazing! I’ll be working with Jaco Pastorius, Charlie Parker, Art Tatum, and Buddy Rich, and you’re telling me it’s not that great of a gig?
“Well…” Saint Peter, hesitated, “God’s got this girlfriend who thinks she can sing…”
