Food for thought;
A GOOD MUSICIAN KNOWS WHEN NOT TO PLAY.

Zakemo
Absolutely! And at what volume! Bare with me for this story. I was
in a nine piece band, git, bass, drums, two trumpets, sax, trombone, a
Janis Joplin clone on git and keys and our front man 6 foot 5 inches
tall and sing like a madman, in fact 8 of us sang. Had a gig in a small
town, two weeks-six nights/week, the owner, a grey haired bent up old
dude, kept coming up and telling us to turn it down. Out of spite we
played as quitely as humanly possible, the grey dude came back up and
said that's perfect. Someone on the other side of the bar put a coin in
the juke box and we could honestly hear the music while we were playing.
We continued to play this way and after two weeks there was a noteable
improvement, we listened to each other better and the tunes really
tightened up, it was wonderful practice. The band was smokin' but just
to big to get paid anything worthwhile. BTW I was playing trumpet and
doubling on keys.
Don't forget to leave spaces...
Thanks again for putting up with the story.
