Bummer, I'd say that out off all the shows we play around the country this happens about...oh....90% of the time LoLoLoLo

Don't let it get to you man, It's hard as a musician because 99.9999999999% of people you come into contact within the music industry, feel like your an inconvenience. The door guy, the bar tender, the owner, and the sound guys/gals usually forget that if you weren't there to play, they'd all be without a job that night. So usually, they treat you like they never had anything to do with this whole idea of you playing music. Gotta shrug it off, or you'll wanna quit.

Ugh...lesson to be learned from this is to do as much advance work as possible and be as completely prepared as you can be once on site. Any gig that lacks management is a hassle and you are almost always on your own. Sometimes there is just nothing you can do to make things go well. On the bright side you now have another "remember that time..." story to add to your collection of, what I like to refer to as "gigmares".

What a drag. But isn't the drummer the most neglected member of the band? You should have stormed off in protest & left them a tambourine.

quick switch to : I read a review a new documentary on Ginger Baker called "Beware of Mr. Baker" - just thought I'd pass that along after reading your Baker interest.
