The gig of my life!

Sign in to disble this ad
I just had the best gig I have ever experienced! I'll set it up. I live in south texas, we got a gig at a bbq cook off / music festival in Corpus Christi this weekend. We open the event up with Jason Meadows from Nashville Star headlining. We have an incredible set of about an hours worth of music. My sound is perfect. The Sound people were fantastic. I have never played with so much undistorted power it felt like I was jamming with a lightning bolt as my power source. We finish up, a couple more bands play and when its Jason Meadows turn, his band han't made it yet due to vehicle trouble. So the promoter gets our band leader/singer up to fill in the gap. Then Jason meadows gets up and starts singing with him and the promoter says, well, get up there with them! So I got to play with the guy whose songs we cover normally in front of a couple thousand people !!! It was the greatest night of my musical life!!!, Never have so many things gone so right ever!! I just had to share. Joseph

Substitute Meadows for any other star and it sounds like a dream we've all had. And you lived it. Lucky bugger!
