A long time ago Widespread Panic was playing a homecoming show at the Georgia Theatre and they had recently picked up a new band member it would be his first time at the Theatre with Panic. Well the door guy (One Arm Steve) wouldn't let him in without paying. The new band mate insisted that he was in the band, One Arm Steve pointed at the poster (Older band photo without him) on the wall and said "come back sometime when your pictures on the wall". Ha! Get it Jo Jo

No need to take it seriously.

It's just something funny that I had in a word document on my comp.

I am sure that some have toured and some have not.

But it's not important. Just a bit of a laugh. :thumbsup:

Yeah right?
This is the HUMOR section ain't it?
IMHO what makes something funny in the first place, is the inaccuracy of the statement, while resembling something that people can understand/relate to.
Otherwise is a sermon.

While I got a chuckle on this, I regularly check in FROM a gig.{on my phone, or laptop} obviously not while playing, but before going on, or even during a break. I get bored easily, and I'm really not interested in such enthralling things as dr.s visits and diaper changing, so... T.B. FTW.

Sounds familiar, are you SAHD?

NO, but band mates are grandparents.
I am not interested in the conversations, so I entertain myself otherwise.
I've also been married 3 times, and NOT looking to cruise chicks , well not at this moment anyhow.
I occupy myself with checking e-mail, news, weather, and T.B., while they ooo, and aaa over the latest fabulous anecdotes about their grand kids.
The only thing that makes baby stories cute is when they are brief, and infrequent.

If the band is playing in front of a big screen TV and there is a football, baseball, etc. game on during the entire show, you are not on tour.

If you are asked in the middle of your set to announce a car that needs to be moved, you are not on tour.

If you are asked to pull the winning 50/50 tickets during your break, you are not on tour.

I was in a band in the late 80s and we had T-Shirts made with the band name on the front and a map of Pennsylvania on the back with music notes indicating small towns we played with the caption. "Pennsylvania World Tour" since we joked that we played every little town within 2 hours of where we lived and never left the state.
