QUOTE (bart m @ Sep 5 2007, 06:30 AM)  just a mere three weeks ago, i was offered a "position" in a "house" band playing rhythm/lead guitar and singing backup vocals twice a week at a local restaurant/bar. we played mostly covers...classic rock, classic soul, funk, blues...etc. before that i hadn't played a regular gig in 6 years. well, i just got a call from the band leader saying we had the plug pulled on us...the reason, it's football season.  i'm really bummed right now. this gig was pefect. i played 2 hours friday night, 2 hours saturday night and i was home in time to get some hang time with my family, plus the extra cash was nice, not to mention the best part...i was playing and singing again. the venue had a real nice atmosphere. it wasn't a big party scene and the crowd was always attentive...i guess i can make my regular poker game again...Man, sorry to hear that especially since you got such a good thing going. Hope football night renders low beer sales and they want the rock band back

QUOTE (bart m @ Sep 5 2007, 06:39 AM) obviously not anymore...it's a bull****excuse, clearly. the gig was only from 7:00 p.m to 9:00 p.m friday and saturday night followed by a comedy act from 10:00 to 11:00...this place is not a sportsbar, so i know the excuse was b.s. my paranoia is telling me that when i was added to the lineup, the owner was out a little more money and this is what lead to his decision. i really hope not because the other guys really need the $$$$ as much or more than i do. for example, the keyboard player is this old guy with killer chops who has lead one of those not so glamorous rock n roll lifestyles fraught with substance abuse and mental issues who is trying to get back on top of his game...it just sux!! I really hope you won't stop by the bar to see another band play. Guess you're right, football season was a lame excuse. And don't take the blame, obviously you added to the performance and somewhere there's a line beween delivering a good perfomance and selling out. Though I understand from your explanation they needed the cash. This post has been edited by Andrew Cockburn: Sep 5 2007, 08:19 AM -------------------- My bands homepage
