My bandmates are all half my age. They make me feel old. Lol 😆 Blue

I'll start. First of all I think most of us have enjoyed the benefits of having good contacts and the pitfalls of losing them. We had a really cool relationship with The Thelma Performing Arts Center, a top notch center hosting several series of live music events. We got to open for Charlie Daniel's through them. After 3 years of doing business with them our contact was fired. All opportunities for us came to an abrupt stop.All attempts at rebuilding the relationship with them failed. Blue

At times there are some of us that sit back and ponder about why some of your peers are getting more of the premium higher profile gigs. I'd like to open up a discussion about the value of decision making contacts and networking as well as the consequences when you lose a contact. Blue

Hi Dave, A Harley would have been cool for me maybe 40 years ago. I have too many fears now. I might fall and scape my knee. Lol 😆 Daryl

The Sturgis event I'm thinking of is song writers festival. Blue

Not to go off on a tangent. Some guys are not in this for the money, I'm not one of them. If your like me and the money is important the amount of pay is important. Sometime the pay isn't worth all the effort involved. And I say , there's no shame in turning down low pay gigs. Blue

Sturgis isn't what I call a biker crowd or event. Funny you mentioned Stugis, it's not far from me. Maybe a little over an hour. Blue

Lol, the Biker culture over here in the States has " aged out ". Most of the ladies gave up wearing skimpy tops 30 years ago. I guess my point is, the older bikers were not replaced with young ones. Blue

The whole small crowd issue is something I still struggle with. Last weekend we played a 3:00 slot at The Burlington Jamboree. Brand new stage with top notch sound , lighting and crew. I felt so sorry for our band leader addressing one table of 6 Blue

They're still in the editing process. As soon as the video is released I'll post the link Blue

Love the lighting and the suits Blue

Nice job ! Blue

Very cool ! Blue

Ok, sounds good Lozz. Blue

That Vox amp is perfect. All you might need us a $69.00 Chorus pedal and your set. Blue

Agreed, playing a pub gig standing barefoot in an inch of urine is probably not a good idea. Blue

Do you guys want to hear the song we did the video for or wait for the video. Blue

By your definition ours was a video shoot. I had no idea what I was doing . All those cameras pointed at me from different angles one take after the other. I wonder how much of me will be in the finished product ? Blue

In the State of WI it's illegal for anyone over 70 to be seen in public barefoot or wearing sandals. Blue

What's the difference between live video and a video shoot ? Blue

The lights were hot and we did the song performance around 12 or 13 times. Blue

They're adding text and graphics today. Blue

Very nice! Blue

It was allot of work and the lights were hot. The pros are doing all the editing. The end result should be interesting. Blue

This pic will come alive soon. I'm way in the back. Blue
