Musician Forum - Band Discussion Board - BandMix

I had a total of 11 hours of band-rehearsals since Saturday.
Last night I was online til 3 am w/Library of Congress, copyrighting another song.
Today I've been burning Cds, printing and trimming CD covers to size, glueing covers into the cases, and hand-labeling CDs for the last 5 hours.
This afternoon I spent several hours distributing Flyers for the Saturday concert in the Deep River Town Hall Auditorium.
I visited 2 musician friends.
I checked in at a music store - put up another flyer.
I practiced for an hour.
I talked with a dozen musicians today. Answered dozens of messages and comments from my myspace friends (all singers and musicians).
I talked with the owner of a local Tea house; they want me to gig there.
. . .
I started at 9am - it's now almost 11pm.
I took (2) 15 minute breaks: lunch, and supper.
I still haven’t finished labeling the Cds and glueing the covers in . . .
.
. . . whew . . . got another 2 hours ahead of me before I can knock off for the evening - gotta redo the set list, label cables, fix a broken handle on my amp . . .
sheesh . . . it never ends . . .

We spent 2 1/2 hours working on a new song Tony wrote.

Dang, I guess you got me beat!

I am envious RhythmMan that you have that much time to devote to your music and I don't LOL! maybe someday.

Hey Rhythmman. Check this epson printer out. I've had the R220 for a few years now and love it. It prints straight onto the CD. You have to buy the white printable blank disks, but the quality is great, and you don't have to worry about the peel and stick labels coming loose and catching in your CD player.

This is just the first site I searched. You might be able to get a better deal somewhere else.

J-HALEY, don't be envious, man.
I still don't have enough time - it comes out of my sleeping - anywhere from 3 - 7 hours of sleep/ night.
3-1/2 - 6 hours night of sleep per night is average.
And - you're probably doing more of the actual music, man.
I haven't written a new song in 3 weeks . . .
So - I'm kinda envious of you . . .
.
ratsass, yeah, thanks - I'll check into that when I can. Kinda busy now . . . the last one I looked at was $1250 . . .
But I will check it later . . .

RM, it's going to pay off for you one day. Work-it.

This is just a printer and with rebate, $75. It doesn't copy CDs and all that good stuff, but it prints them great and looks a lot more professional. It may save a little bit of time, but not much as it prints them one at a time, but you're not having to peel those labels and stick them evenly (although the little neat-o gadget for centering them does a good job).

I went to work.... came home and practiced on my acoustic or about 2 hours.... then on the electric for about an hour and a half and then got my brand new crotch rocket delivered in the pouring rain....took about an hour to dry every nook and cranny off and then spent the evening in the garage taking it apart in order to put on battery tender cables, tank protecter and swingarm spools(those are to raise the bike so I can maintain the chain) Then I spent an hour reading the entire manual.... hope it's sunny out tomorrow so I can tear up the streets in my new ZX10R! My 2 favorite things in the world: guitars and bikes!

Don't you guy's worry about wipeing out on your bikes breaking an arm and not being able to play your guitar. Man I think the older I get the more anal I become.

I never though boobs would get displaced by a damn motorbike.
What is the rockin world comin to?

Oh yeah How the hell did I forget about boobs??

Temporary insanity. But it's ok man I am your support group!

Don't work yourself to death. You have to take some time out for relaxation. I'd be worried about not getting enough sleep. Your immune system could be compromised to the point where you get sick. Take a break...

sleeeeep is good ..

Aaaauuuughh...I got plenty of time for sleep when I'm dead! Gotta get as many freakin' hours in before I expire! I get about 5 hours a night give or take..
