Hey Talkbassers: who wants to take my gig?

Not sure where to put this, but here goes: due to other opportunities, I can't do my bar / wedding gig any longer. I've been helping out while my "bosses" look for a replacement but I'd really like to sign off for good. Any Talkbassers up for it?

99% of gigs happen in the south Chicago suburbs (Tinley Park, Midlothian, Oak Lawn, Merrionette Park, etc etc). Bar gigs pay $100-$150 and weddings pay $300. I've never been stiffed on a gig ever and the guys are really easy to work with and just excellent human beings, not to mention great musicians. Practices are usually once sometime in the week before the gig and are again in the south Chicago suburbs. Here's a list of songs you'd be required to do (I didn't type this list so please don't laugh too hard):

I got a feeling
jump jive and wail
aint too proud to beg
saw her standing there
respect
run around sue
twist and shout
you’re the one that I want (Grease)
American girl
can’t help fallin in love
I want you back

shipping off to boston
sex on fire
take me out
like a prayer
girls just wanna have fun
glory days
country roads
falling slowly
country roads

soul sister
foot loose
hey ya
party in the usa
Jackson
into the mystic

sweet caroline
don’t stop believing
chicken fried
come on Eileen
wanna dance with somebody
send me on my way
at last
shook me all night long
all night long
shout
time of my life


aint no mountain high enough
satisfaction
funky music
only the good die young
Johnny b goode
oh what a night
sexy back
bust a move
billie jean
crazy game of poker
pretty woman
take me home tonight
bad romance
have I told you lately
have a little faith in me
build me up butter cup
twisting the night away
something in the way
bring it on home
crazy love
save a horse ride a cowboy
do you love me (now that I can dance)
I feel good
toxic
forget you
the way you look tonight
little lion man
crazy little thing called love
you oughta know
mercy
walk like an egyption
no one

(Mods, if this is in the wrong place, please move or delete and sorry in advance.)

-Anthony

You're about to get moved to "bassists wanted" in the classifieds.
