Im not a pro by any means and dont need the money from gigs for my support, but I do understand and respect my crowds.
But its just not on the cover bar band level, take a band like ZZ Top, they have certain songs that I imagine they play every night, (Tush, Lagrange) for all we know they hate these songs, but they play them cause thier audience wants to hear them play them.
Im sorry Paper to me on this your logic is just f**k!
JW, IF all you are is a tap-dance act then yeah, I hear ya...... But Lets look at ZZ top... When You go to a ZZ top Concert and you ask em to Play David Bowie, Are you telling me that ZZ Top'
s logic is f*cked up if they tell the audience, sorry but we don't do Bowie? Based on YOUR logic, the audience is boss and they dont get in the door to see that band for less than 60 bucks... so in your entire career as a musician, are you telling me that ZZ Top's Logic is f*cked up?
Paper you can turn this around anyway you want too.
Im sure you would be a lot of fun to be in a band with!
LOL, Your logic is f**k and thats my opinion.
Ive been playing off and on with the same guys for close to 30 years, we do what we do, and if my audience wants me to tap dance then I will tap dance.
Good Luck
Ok JW You win bro...
