craigb Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Heh, my birthday falls right near Christmas (December 22nd) and, one year, I went to see a band that I had met because the guitarist was someone in the local Line6 forum I was in (I sold him a replacement floorboard previously). For the first entire two sets, I was the ONLY person there and, to their credit, they played as if the house was full so I had one of the best birthdays ever. 👍😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notes_Norton Posted August 21, 2019 Author Share Posted August 21, 2019 I paid my dues in bars, 6 nights a week, and Thursday's were always slow. The day before payday I guess. Two salesmen who would rather watch a ball game on TV. No matter how many people are in our audience, we do our best. It's the only way we know. I don't play 6 night gigs anymore. When I was young, and old time told me that once you star playing yacht clubs, country clubs, and retirement developments, you never want to go back to the bars. He was right. I can make in 2 nights what I used to make in 6. Of course I have to set up and tear down every night, but that's fine with me. I need the exercise (or so I tell myself). The closest thing we have to a night club now is a marina. One day a week during lunchtime, and in October it marks the start of our 12th year. http://www.s-cats.com And I also write aftermarket products for Band-in-a-Box at http://www.nortonmusic.com Making a living and having fun while I do it. Life is good. Notes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
