Re: Good New Year's gig.
Wow. That’s good money...regardless of how the gig turned out!
New Years Eve used to be s great night for bands around here. You could charge 2x to 3x your normal rate. Now, very few go out on New Years Eve. New Years Day has become the big thing now. Everyone bar-hops around town. There were 4 live bands today in my town of only 15K people. We played from 2pm to 6pm and had a pretty good crowd. A lot of people stayed. We did an “unplugged” acoustic show (more of an open jam, actually) and had several local musicians join us. At one point, we had 9 people playing. We only made $50 each, but we had an awesome time. Since it was acoustic, I just played my Cajon, tambourine and spoons. We didn’t have much equipment to mess with, so that made it a lot easier and fun.

Play the SONG......not the DRUMS!!!
"I think that feeling is a lot more important than technique. It's all very well doing a triple paradiddle - but who's going to know you've done it? If you play technically you sound like everybody else. It's being original that counts." ~ John Bonham
