maybe not, but you most definitely should cover this..

First rehearsal tomorrow night. Hope this works, if I don't hook up with an existing act or somebody like him who books a lot of date I won't play out, my motivation to hustle gigs and deal with local bar and club owners is zero point zero zero. But even if it doesn't the fact that a guy that good and established wanted to work with me is encouraging. I think it will work for a number of reasons starting with the likelihood that he needs me at this point more than I need him if he wants to cover 3 months of booked dates. Sounds like the guy's guitar skills won't carry him.
Finding guys that can sing AND play up here isn't exactly so easy. It's not unusual that if somebody can sing well, it turns out that they never learned how to play so great. I find that kind of baffling, I figure if you'e into music and you like to sing, wouldn't you learn how to play an instrument?
I liked most of the material on his song list, but I will throw myself into a wood chipper before I play 'Dancing in the Moonlight' or 'Brandy'. Happily out of like 80 songs, those are the only two real face palms.

I can play a few songs, just learned No Such Thing and Stop This Train last Fall, took me three months to nail those down. A lot of his stuff is kind of involved on the guitar side. Another guitar intensive Mayer song I play is Good Love is On the Way. It's time consuming to learn his songs, but you learn cool guitar stuff. He's an amazing guitar player, particularly on the acoustic side.

You are always mistaken. Those cities have their own Greater Metro Areas.

OK, Florida, NY not so much, but that town is surrounded by thousands of acres of black dirt onion fields and illegal migrant farm workers who's man means of transport appears to be Walmart-grade cheapo 'mountain' bicycles.

Never having played such, I still don't get it. Just as well. Just those electronic sounds sent me running for the exit.

I get you. In Illinois, we have video game gambling and I refuse to eat at a place that has a gaming license due to the electronic noise.

So...I went on this Freddy club ride yesterday and was talking to a guy about how he had signed up for Cycle Oregon this year. I mentioned that it's a reprise of a route that they did 10 years ago that includes Crater Lake. He told me he had printed out the brochure, read it and signed up and that I was wrong about the route. He said it included part of the coast. I eventually let it go. Just checked the event web site again and I was 100% correct. HTH do you sign up for an event being that wrong? Maybe he was looking at a version from a few years ago, when the ride did go along a portion of the coast?

This is cycling reprobate breakfast Monday. No matter how many times the stories get retold and modified, it never gets old. Only the participators get old(er).

Quite a few years ago when entertaining customers in Las Vegas we used to choose lovely restaurant in a hotel off the beaten track that had no casino. What a pleasure that was to be able to get away from that noise for a few hours.

Calling then cities is very generous, towns would be more accurate.

Such generosity is endemic to the BF Holy See my son.
