  1. Can you give me an example of UK Christmas standards? Daryl
  2. I'm battling with the whole Helix/ Kemper thing and not using an amp. Daryl
  3. I'm terrified of heights. If I'm in a car driving over a high bridge, I feel better off stopping the car and jumping off the bridge. Daryl
  4. Pretty much. When you hit my age you resort to the " cowboy hat". Daryl
  5. No gigs for me until NYE. Daryl
  6. Easy money, that's the best kind. Lol Daryl
  7. Attention during a break. Lol Daryl
  8. Off topic. When break time comes or after the show I struggle with guys that are drunk and want to talk to you about music. And at the same time I complain when nobody approaches me or gives me any attention. Daryl
  9. I don't mind a legitimate sincere encore from the whole room. I don't know how I feel about one or two dudes " three sheets to the wind" requesting one more song. Lol Daryl
  10. WOW! That's cold. Daryl
  11. I know exactly what your talking about. Daryl
  12. I'm a proud member of the February 9th, 1964 club. I watched The Beatles American debut on our Ed Sullivan Show. By the next day thousands of us talked our parents into buying us electric guitars and we all started rock bands. I know you've all heard this story a hundred times . Lol Daryl
  13. In my neck of the woods at the local or regional level you can't make a living playing in a band. Even if you were working your butt off you'd be hard pressed to clear 12k annually. Blue
  14. I had a buddy that spent 6 months putting a 4 peice together. There was a rotten apple in the bunch. They should have seen the red flags. Anyway at the end of 6 months of prep and rehearsals the rotten apple bailed. By that time the enthusiasm was gone and the project was canned. Daryl
  15. Please do. Daryl
  16. Late 30s and early 40s. Daryl
  17. I think it's sad when gigs dry up there's no communication and the band falls apart with no proper closure. Daryl
  18. Hats aren't for everybody. I've always stayed away from hats until recently. At 70 my hair is thin and hard to manage. A hat makes things easier. Now, depending on the nature of a gig I'll wear a cowboy hat. I'm cool with it and I didn’t get any complaints. Daryl
  19. I brag a lot about my band. They're young,smart, fair and generous to a fault. We've been together since 2007. Maple Road gave me everything I'd ever wanted in a band.When and if this band folds that will be it for me. I'm too spoiled and I'm 70. I'll go out on a high note. Daryl
  20. You can't go wrong with RCF. Blue
  21. You can't go wrong with RCF. Blue
  22. Very interesting venue. The living room of a home is converted into a music venue. Lots of Victorian furniture and Persian rugs. There's a nice bar. No liquor license, people bring their own booze. Very well attended. Personally I wasn’t feeling my playing. Something was off. Daryl
  23. THIS WEDNESDAY Thanksgiving Eve Maple Road Rockfield Music & Media Rockfield WI We start at 7:00 BYOB Don’t forget to bring your favorite beverage! Daryl
  24. Thanks Paul. Darul
  25. A bitter sweet gig. Beautiful room, stage monitors were great, comped drink and meals , we sounded good and we had a lot of fun. Unfortunately the turn out was disappointing. Daryl
