I just got in from a 3 hour pub/bar covers show. I spent time with my close friends (bandmates), got to play bass for 3 hours in front of an audience and I got paid a pocketful of cash for my troubles! How good is that? |

|  | Bass lines like a big, funky giant | | Join Date: Jul 2004 Location: Southern MN | | | The only thing better, IMHO, is playing a large concert/festival where the only gear I need to bring is my bass and lots of people give me lots of love before, during and after the performance. But, yeah, bar gigs are OK, too! |

We're playing a new venue tomorrow night and I have to admit that I'm getting pretty excited about it.

I'm less keen on the hauling to and fro part, epecially the fro part.

A professional chef's banquet. Two 45 minute sets plus all the food we wanted. Plus we got paid what we would normally get for a 4 set bar gig! |

I don't imagine a dull stick would feel any better.
