Russ the music business is not always honorable..Two weeks ago our band played a new location[for us] in Philly..They loved us and booked us again this weekend, at the cost of another band[they cancelled the other group]..After I heard this I mentioned to the other members of our band, that this is something that I will not do again[If I known before the fact, I would have refused]..A commitment is a commitment,,The club was wrong and we were wrong...I would not like this to happen to us...If the club wants us, check schedules for open dates, than honor the dates...Competing for jobs that are open is fair game, even at price bidding..your worth will arise to the top over the "bid to get the job" guys...you may lose a job initially, but they will call you back if you are "good"..
