Manic2257,

You could possibly be correct with all of your assumptions ie: bad tempos, incorrect set tunes etc. Here is the big however, Gary is a seasoned professional with probably more years of experience than you are old (judging by the way you try to write). I'm sure he knows what the appropriate tunes should be for the crowd that was there.

I have played in everything from a 16 piece band to doing solo work. They all have their good and bad points. Both can be equally rewarding or equally frustrating. Most of us have had to deal with other so called musicians who arrive late if at all, show up or get drunk on the job, don't know the tunes, play out of tune or speed, and want the majority of the money and fame. Many of them also think they can sing and are the worlds greatest soloists.

Most of the people on this forum respect the other members and treat them accordingly. You made good points even though your manner of expression leaves a lot to be desired.

You are correct about another thing also. Gary is a big boy and can hold his own with the likes of you without any help from the rest of us.
