Re: Gig stories...
My acoustic group worked up a dozen or so holiday tunes one year and got booked at several Christmas parties and business open house events. One booking was at a local furniture store. It was pretty dead but we we each made $50 and had a good time just playing with each other. The last half hour, one of our band members wife shows up to hear us and starts looking around. His $50 gig ended up costing him about $2,000 once she stopped shopping. On the bright side, it was a very nice couch...
“Like winds and sunsets, wild things were taken for granted until progress began to do away with them. Now we face the question whether a still higher ‘standard of living’ is worth its cost in things natural, wild and free.” -- Aldo Leopold
