Bill Lewis Senior Member Registered: 11/12/08 Posts: 2442 Loc: Bluffton/Hilton Head SC USA	Went to a place last night with an outdoor stage. Pretty good band that the owner loved and could only book once a month . He gets on the mic and announces that anyone who puts a five in their bucket gets a free shot. I guess he really wants them back ! _________________________ Bill in SC --- Roland BK9 (2) Roland BK7M, Roland PK5 Pedals, Roland FP90, Roland CM30 (2), JBL Eon Ones (2) JBL 610 Monitor, Behringer Sub, EV mics, Apple iPad (2) Behringer DJ mixer

DonM Senior Member Registered: 06/25/99 Posts: 16735 Loc: Benton, LA, USA	That's a great thing for him to do! A couple of weeks ago, we had a birthday party of about 10 people. They were having a LARGE time stayed from 7:00 to closing. The Birthday "girl" came up in the middle of a song and before I could stop her, grabbed my jar and started going around to the tables with it. Not cool, but dang, she was having so much fun than most everybody dug in and contributed. By the end of the night there was more than four h in it. I played the entire four hours with only one break, then another 30 minutes extra. You don't mind working hard if people are appreciating it! _________________________ DonM

Had a similar thing this Spring sitting in with a band. Guitar player was on and ego trip and didn't want to do any requests. Finally ath the end of the gig we hit Mustanf Sally which lots of musicians hate but a girl grabbed out tip pitcher and replaced it with a bucket. $$$ _________________________ Bill in SC --- Roland BK9 (2) Roland BK7M, Roland PK5 Pedals, Roland FP90, Roland CM30 (2), JBL Eon Ones (2) JBL 610 Monitor, Behringer Sub, EV mics, Apple iPad (2) Behringer DJ mixer

captain Russ Senior Member Registered: 01/02/04 Posts: 7285 Loc: Lexington, Ky, USA	I have a regular who is the owner of a soft drink distributorship and a major drunk. for three years, he has been coming in on Wednesday evening, laying a $100.00 bill on my piano and asking me to ply his song. He staggers to a booth. 1/2 hour later, he says," when are you going to play my song?" I say, "Bill, I played it when you first came in". He says, "Thanks buddy", and staggers off. Been so long, I don';t even remember what the song is. What the heck does he expect for $15,000.00?(LOL). Russ
