No gigs for me until NYE. Daryl

Easy money, that's the best kind. Lol Daryl

Attention during a break. Lol Daryl

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

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

WOW! That's cold. Daryl

I know exactly what your talking about. Daryl

Who/What started you on your journey and why?
Bluewine replied to snorkie635's topic in General Discussion
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- 78 replies

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

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

Please do. Daryl

Late 30s and early 40s. Daryl

I think it's sad when gigs dry up there's no communication and the band falls apart with no proper closure. Daryl

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

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

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

How About A Sneak Preview, Where Are You Playing on NYE ?
Bluewine replied to Bluewine's topic in General Discussion
Pete, our band leader didn't want to rock the boat even though he sort of rocked it for us. His style of playing is a perfect match for what we do and his harmonies are really good. Did you see our video clip covering " No Diggity " by Blackstreet ? Daryl -

Our drummer basically had other plans/ engagements all of summer 2023. We had two deps we rotated. We we're lucky we didn't have to turn down any gigs. Everybody is different. I don't have a life so gigs rule in my world. Daryl -

I'm 70 years old. My 9-1 days are pretty much over. 4:00-7:00 is the new 9:00-1:00 for " boomers" Grandpa Daryl
