I was told last night it was a 16oz pour into a 20oz glass Daryl

I don't think we we're in our comfort zone. We do better playing in kitchens. Daryl

Thanks Daryl

Could someone remind me how to delete pics when you've exceeded your limit. Thanks Daryl

A lot more fun than jeans and t-shirts. Those costumes look fantastic. Daryl

Yes, love the pinstripe pants. I wish I could tour with Alice. That's the kind of gig I'm cut out for. Lol Daryl

Thanks Dave, Me, I'm no fun. Cranberry Juice and sparkling water. Lol Daryl

Thanks Downunder, Daryl

Just curious, are these prices low or high compared to the venues you guys play? "Tomorrow night. SATURDAY! Maple Road Blues Band LIVE at the fabulous Foundry 45 in Kewaskum! $10 at the door, a night full of live rockin' blues on a bada$$ stage with even badder a$$ sound & lighting, and get this, $1 Domestic Tap Beer and $2 Craft Tap Beer while it lasts! Don't miss this one folks!" Daryl

Speaking of deps. I got this message this morning regarding tonight's gig. " Morning guys! Jim will be filling in for Jack tonight. He has some nerve damage in his arm that should resolve but not in time for tonight's gig." It'll be cool, Jim is our old drummer and knows all our stuff. And me and Jim are really tight mates Daryl

Sounding great Dave. I love the lead singers tails . Daryl

Our old drummer deps for us occasionally. He's great and knows all the material. I'll consider ourselves lucky. Daryl

I'm not sure how depoing works. Don't you have to be somewhat known in a thriving local or regional live music scene to get dep work ? Daryl

I wish I was 40. I'm 70 and didn't start gigging heavily until I was 57. Daryl

In a way isn't every band a concept band? We're kind of throw back to the early 70s rock bands. We're a 4 peice, drums, 2 guitars and bass. Lot's and lots of guitar work. Daryl

Huge upscale room this Saturday night. State of the art in house sound and lighting provided . I don't think our draw is enough to fill this size room. 8:30 - 11:30, that's a long night for me. Good thing it's only a 15 minute commute. Daryl

I'm big on dynamics. Daryl

Yes, our tip culture is different. However, we have local bands here that will not use a tip jar. We don't use the tip jar at private events or large stage festival shows. The tip jar has been a part of our business model since the band's inception in 2007. Overall it's been good for us.

Over here we have ticket prices for dedicated music venues that book signed national recording acts. However the days of bars changing a cover at the door because they have a band are long gone. Daryl

The big money short hour gigs are great, but hard to get. We have a theatre gig opening for Ivy Ford in March. $500.00 for a 40 minute set. That's not bad in my book . Daryl

Tipping is crazy over here. I was leaving my condo the other day and my neighbor was pushing my garbage cart back up toward my garage. He asked for a tip.lol Daryl

I doubt I could ever get in with one of the local " big time" younger cover bands. At the end of the day, I'm in the best band I can be in. This is my 15th year. Daryl
