LOL! Tommy Guns passed the dead gig jinx to me! We were playing for 15% of the gross proceeds at a new venue and it was deader than frozen road-kill.
Still, it was a good lesson in why you should always give your best, even if you're essentially playing to the wait staff, for the less experienced members of the band. One of the dozen or so people who were there was a local booking agent who will be adding us to his roster of bands available. That makes three local agencies who are sources of future gigs for us. He said the thing that impressed him most was that every person around him called a friend to try to get them down to see us. That gave us a surge at the end of the night that at least let us make gas money for the show.
Playing guitar and never playing for others is like studying medicine and never working in a clinic.
Good stuff, esp. about the potential for more gigs!
