Carbs are evil.No beer?
That advice must come from a very bitter person who hates babies, puppies and kittens!

Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

That's why they came up with fuel injection, right?
So I learned just now that I didn’t get the gig with the blues band. It went to a friend of the guitar player. Why did they waste my time and get my hopes up? Such is life. 
Did I say I hate auditions?

Did I say I hate imbecile band leaders? My last band was run by such an imbecile! I was getting too many complements on my playing so I got dumped. He auditioned two players at my last gig. They used my amp and my bass. I thought it strange that folk wanted to stand in but didn’t bring an instrument.

I completely forgot about this, haven't seen it in ages. Now I see that I am going to waste a couple of perfectly good hours on productive entertainment!!! Thanks
Sorry to hear Paul and Jeff!
The amp on my shoulders is still overheating. Running at 100 F +/- .5 all weekend! That's after meds.

I found the best solution to this was I have always been the band leader. Own my own P.A. Transportation. Lights. I book the gigs. I write the songlists. But even better than that, I love doing my solo act as a guitarist/singer. it's not as much fun as sitting in and doing weekends with some of the great musicians around town. But as a single I have total control. Course I have to sing all night!
The time spent will not be wasted. Just keeping up with the jokes can be exercise
Yah, I was surprised to hear @BassmanPaul handed over his axe. I think he told me I was not allowed to ever touch it! Hmmm, sounds dirty now that I put it that way, maybe he was talking about something else. Dambid UK-US-CA translations...
I like that. The more you own, the more they have to like you. I plan to do similar, own the PA, the instruments and everything. With my skills I'm lucky it's not financially part of my retirement, so I will own the audience. If they don't like me, they can GET OFF MY LAWN!
Thing was I was unaware that they were auditioning. In fact such a thought never entered my head!
Thing is I do own a PA in fact I have three. The big one has sixteen channels, 3000W capable mains, four channels at 500W each for monitors and an In Ear monitor system with five receivers.
