Yep. We won't do it for free again. Too much work for some food and beverages.
Another stadium gig...

The Stryker picnic gig was yesterday, and it was well attended. They were expecting 1400 people, but I have no idea what the final total was. We faced the field this time. We were background music for the most part, but we had people say we sounded good. I'll include a couple pics. We did our best too eat their food and drink their beer, plus we got paid handsomely for this one.
Now it's back to the drawing board as we're looking to replace the bass player. We dragged him out of retirement and he decided he wanted to return to doing not much of anything. Plus he said blues wasn't his thing. It seems we're always trying to replace somebody. Just going to jams was much easier in some ways.

Hey Tommy, fly me out there, I'll play with you.
Wow! You got paid, got to eat and free beer? I want to live in your world. You may have accidentally found Zen!

Well, the music scene in Texas isn’t too shabby either by the looks of it.

Maybe but the only big gig I ever had was the Allen 4th of July a few years ago.

We're doing this gig again in September. We finally landed a bass player who I know is committed, since we move practice out of my basement to his basement next week. We also landed a keyboardist. He was in a set with our singer at a recent jam. I posted this video before. I'm pretty exited about where we are going. We voted on a bunch of new songs to tackle, and they are all good ones. Things are looking up.
