" Really well paying" That's my favorite type of gig. We have one coming up. A corporate Christmas Party.
Requests can get dicey. I saw a member of a 60s hit making band ( 4 hits in our top ten) now in his 70s play a solo small bar gig. Great singer and musician but apparently pretty bitter about the music business. Someone requested Paul Simon's The Boxer.
His response" sure, I'll play it, 20 bucks." Wow, that's bold.
