Damn, Zip! That's HUGE! Good for you!

Man that is FANTASTIC news! Congrats!

Did I just read that right, man!? The Robin Trower?

How the heck did you land that gig? Wow Zip! Just freakin' wow! I love Trower too!

Like I said, this year has been going good for a lot of people this year. Let me think: Bob, Zip, Crip, Jimmy, Santos, George, Klugmo...who else? God is hooking people up this year. I guess the reason last year was slow is because we're supposed to appreciate the good things that come our way.

Again, congrats Zip...you go boy!

Through networking.
A friend dabbled in a band who has played the club, and the club thought the music would be a good mix for the Tower show.
He wanted to fatten up the souns for the show instead just being a three piece.
My friend asked me, I said heck yeah. Friend vouched for me.
The dude said 'If he wants to do it, he's more than welcome'.

Just know people who are in the scene and have a decent rep. Guys who know guys... that's how it works best with any profession.

Thanks guys!

Been busy learning and perfecting the material, so I havent checked in.
Probably be busy another week or so.
I'm obsessive compulsive about having parts down cold.
(When it's not my music, lol)

Y'know, that reminds me. How does a person go about finding roadies? Especially if you're broke.
