Dave, I'm coming off two gigs in a row with low turn out. I need a good size crowd to redeem myself. Lol Daryl

For us, we always slow down in the winter. The real bread & butter comes in the summer, festival and fair season. And how much I gig now at 70 is a concern. I guess I'd rather play 2 really good gigs at a top notch venue than 4 run of the mill gigs. Daryl

Dang, that never happens to me. Daryl

Dave, 100 is huge by my standards. Daryl

Thanks Beedster I can handle 3 hour gigs with a break. We don't book 4 hours any more. Dsryl Daryl

I wish I could dep. Nobody calls me for anything. Daryl

In my part of the Midwest the agencies only handle the big name cover bands. They won't touch us. We do ok on our own and we don't have to give anyone else a cut. Daryl

That was not cool,quitting with no notice. With no February gigs, I'm down about 500 bucks. Datyl

I'll start. I'm really ok with a month off. I'm not worried . Our summer schedule is starting to fill up with some good gigs. The reason we don't have any gigs this month is, we've slowed down by choice. We use to play around 70 gigs annually. We've cut back to about 50. Here's the main reason, we no longer play late night bar gigs. I'm not sure why. However, I turned 70 today and I've really played enough bar gigs for my lifetime. Give me theatres, festivals and special events. Daryl

I don't have a gig until March 8th. What an appropriate time to discuss dry spells. Here are a few discussion points. 1. Why you don't have any gigs? 2.Do you rely on an agent ? 3.Who finds coordinates and confirms gigs? 4. Are you or any band members in this for the money? 5.How much do you want to gig? This discussion can go anywhere. Daryl

Dave, Agreed very wasteful. However I got burned at a gig once. Dead battery and no sspares. Daryl

What a crowd! Cool Daryl

Dave, My 1994 G&L ASAT bass will not play in passive mode. I put a new 9 volt in before every gig. I also put fresh AAs in my Line 6 wireless transmitter before every gig. Daryl

Wow, not much notice from the guitarist. If I ever give notice, I'll play gigs until they have replacement up and running. Daryl

He was light years ahead of all the other guitarists in High School. Albert took the big risk and bought a one way ticket to England right after high school. He's doing well and playing big venues with The Original Wailers. Daryl

I've known Albert since grammar school days. Daryl

Fun gig, not a huge crowd. I was happy with my playing. We had a lot of cool grooves last night. Daryl

The acoustic act is back at The Harley .Motor Saturday night, 5:30-8:30. Get this, You know I'm in WI and our Greenbay Packers got into the play offs by the skin of our teeth. We have a huge game with The San Francisco 49ers tomorrow night. Nobody will be interested in bands tomorrow night. Daryl

Cool, love it. Daryl

What type of bands or genres are out there where age is important? I know you can't be a teen idol at age 30. Daryl

Cool, I'm a GK guy. I have several 1001RBs, 400RBs and a couple of RBX cabs. Daryl

Pete, Is that a GK rig? If yes, how long have you been using GK? Daryl

It looks incredible. I love theaters. Daryl

Man, that was great. I listened to it several times. Daryl

Very under sold event. At least we got some good pics out of the deal. Daryl
