Somewhere between 200 & 300. Not sure. Every few minutes I remember something else I did! Most of those were when I was much younger. Recently (as in the last 12 years)? About 3! More coming though...

After way too long

not enough and way too many. Not trying to be a wise guy, just every gig is preciose to me now. I use to be addicted to gigging, honest to God addicted.

WOW. (Let me think) I guess over 23 years I've done a couple thousand or so. Maybe a little more. Thanks for making me feel old!

God knows, not counted:

School band - 1
Rock'n'roll/indie band - 30...40 maybe?
Covers bands - 15-20 (over 2 bands)
Current band - 13-15 (over 8 months)

Probably near a hundred by now either way (over 10 years though its not really a lot seeing it written down...having said that I've not yet been in a "working club band" as such and I was at college/uni for 6 years so it'll go up - I've got another 10-15 gigs coming up with my current band and another one with the rock'n'roll band)

I started playing out live in the late 70's and have played out on a regular basis... I dont have an exact number but I would estimate I have done approximately 3000 shows between NYC and Florida......

Jeez...no idea but..

I was with Legends for 8 1/2 years doing 600 shows a year plus about the same for 5 years on cruise ships before that, and about 400/year for the last 5 years...I'm gonna guess somewhere around 10K
