  1. She's Right I'm Left Acoustic gig tonight at Revere's in Delafield . Classy place and high end clientle. Blue
  2. Not an easy song to sing. I like this and I'm not sure I would call it a mistake. Blue
  3. I've been looking at the Ampeg DI Pre Amp, $399.00. I guess you have to have really good monitors or IEM for it to be effective. Blue
  4. I know there are folks in the audience that don't know that one of us up there is playing bass.Ever had someone ask you how long you've been playing guitar? Lol😂 Blue
  5. Yeah, I'm not always aware of mistakes made by my bandmates. I'm well aware of mine, wrong notes, getting lost in a song when you can't hear. I try not to make the same mistake twice. Blue
  6. Pedals can be a pain, I get that. They don't always integrate with other pedals or PA systems. Ever had a sound guy give you the " stink eye " during a sound check and ask you if you have any pedals engaged. I don't use most of my pedals. And you can run into problems if your playing a gig in a venue that has electrical wiring from the 1940s. However, I'm always going to use a little chorus. Blue
  7. Looks like a huge gig. 👍 Blue
  8. Nice shot ! Blue
  9. Was it just the one guy that fell or was everyone there shined up ? Lol 😂😂 Blue
  10. We've been using the RCF PA for a few years. Small and powerful . Blue
  11. Nice video clip Dave. Daryl
  12. Nice ! And a great charity to raise money for. Blue
  13. Lovely G & L. G& Ls with the active pre amp are one of the best kept secrets out there. I used my 1993 G& L ASAT last night too. Blue
  14. " More Than Our Usual Fee " That's the best kind of fee to get. Lol 😂 Blue
  15. We played a wedding tonight as a favor. We're not a wedding band. We had enough standards and songs people could dance to to get by. We were sounding good tonight. We have new lighting. Blue
  16. Everyone should be careful with gigging on uncovered stages on hot summer days. We had this challenge last weekend at a 10 band 2 stage festival. We were lucky, our slot was only 40 minutes, and that was cut by 10 minutes when the " powers that be" announced the winning raffle numbers . Blue
  17. That is unfortunate and also leads us to another discussion. How transparent is your band leader. How much of the behind the scenes and business stuff shared with us ? I just found out tonight we just purchased $1,000.00 in t shirt inventory. Blue

  19. 25 people seems like " Woodstock " compared to the crowd of 6 we played to last weekend. Lol Blue
  20. Was this singer the band leader ? Blue
  21. My band has some kind of questionable relationship with a promoter. We only get offered the low end gigs Like I said there's some sort of history there that pre dates me entering the band. 15 years is a long time to hold a grudge. Blue
  22. Hi Chris, In my neck of the woods the caliber of the musianship of a band means nothing when it comes to playing high profile large stage gigs. The awful band with a high level contact always gets the gig over the excellent band with no contact. Blue
  23. My bandmates are all half my age. They make me feel old. Lol 😆 Blue
  24. 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
