In some cases, we as musicians have brought it on ourselves.
My nephew played in a tight 4 piece country band. (Bass, drums, lead guitar,
and pedal steel)
Not too many gigs but enought so they could keep up their licks and enjoy themselves.
Mostly in a non-smoking casino, which they enjoyed.
They weren't allowed to drink when playing the gig.
Unfortunately, one member(not my nephew), started adding booze to his coke
bottle between sets. One night we got so wasted he couldn't finish the last set.
They likely will never be given a chance to play that casino again, and as it's
not a big city, the news got around really fast, so maybe no gigs at all.
My nephew quit and joined another band.
I'm sure we all have a story like this to tell. A few bad apples ....
But it's reality, and you couldn't blame the casino if they hired a DJ.
