I would love to land a gig like that. Please tell me how this was done. Inquiring minds want to know.

I once made $75 in tips that we split up between the 5 of us.

Free Domestic beer all night has been my best pay as well!

1960's classic rock on a 1960's RI bass?

It would be a sweet load-in for sure. All you have to do is show up and grab one of those killer First Act guitars or basses and rock out.

Or you could stack all of the band's stuff on a pallet and use a forklift for load in.
