Lucky Stiff

Man, this really speaks to me. I'm in the best worst covers band in the city but we get 30 or so well paid gigs a year at top venues, some juicy corporate and private gigs, we're even on tour out of State this month!. Our lead guitarist (recently sacked) was/is dire; never learnt songs, butchered easy leads, played out of key, etc. Rhythm guitar is a rank beginner and can't hear the rest of the band but is an ace frontman. Sometimes I want to be invisible we're so crook. But every time we play we get rave reviews from the audience (those not related to band members) and frequently get rebooked at the venue right after we get off stage, sometimes for a year ahead. I used to get bent completely out of joint at every screw-up and, to my huge discredit, looked daggers on stage and completely miserable. I'm a newbie and felt that other people were making me look bad when I'd put in the big hours learning every song and getting it right. I still have that feeling but I realised that I have to get over myself and concentrate on the 100+ people dancing up a storm from song 1 set 1. If we all start and stop at the same time and play a reasonable facsimile of the song we're golden. Go figure.

A good moisturizer would really help the vocalist.

Ok, you can play, but can you teach? Big difference.
