Live and learn

So the other down side to letting people touch stuff they don't really understand, is that then you have spend another night making sure it didn't get screwed up. Everything is working perfectly, thank goodness. I have have all day Sunday to cover eight performers.  It helps to read the manuals before you start screwing around. I honestly have had enough bad sound to last me a lifetime. That could be a couple of chapters in this book about doing music at sixty. I should have just shooed her away and fixed it myself.

Dan-

I am very sorry but I don't know what you're talking about. I have no idea what was going on with your sound system. When Sharon and I left your vocal and banjo were coming through the mains. What happened after we left I don't know. There was also a problem with my mic when we played and I was told my vocals were barely audible and very reedy sounding. The sound system appeared to go in and out as if there was a short. Again I am very sorry. We did not intentionally leave you with no sound because you did have sound when we left. I don't know what else to say. Thank you for the opportunity to play but blaming your sound problems no us sounds a bit absurd. It is your system and we did the best we could for you considering the problems it seemed to have. We're not electrical engineers. Guess you're pissed but I don't really understand why you're blaming us.

This is a lie. I have a video of myself, with no sound for the entire evening. The redhead was fixing my sound. They left and waved at me. I assumed that if I could hear myself through the monitor, it was going out the mains. If she didn't know how to fix it, all they had to say to me was you have no sound through the main speakers. But I assumed they had taken care of me. So, when my wife came over to tell me there was no sound out the mains, I thought she meant it was just weird sounding. So, I want to rule out purposeful screw up, I assume no one is that crazy that they would purposefully screw you. I'm just assuming that they were embarrassed because she didn't know how to work the sound board. I would have confessed. Here's the thing, they threw people at me, like I was going to accomodate them and their friends. Now I get this response. "We're not electrical engineers." You don't have to be an engineer to know if sound is coming out of a speaker. I really don't like being fucked with. Beware of these people. They are just old people playing old music and they even beat out the worst prima donnas I've encountered so far. They also cost themselves and their friends a paying gig DTLA next Sunday. 

Where I'll Be Tomoroow Night

Sorry, but I can sound bad with my friends

Dawn,

I'm a heavily rehearsed performer. I don't do pick-bands any more. I will only perform with people I have rehearsed with. I've been burnt too many times. I've had people show up to play with me that don't know the songs. It sounds awful. I'm also doing my own songs and covers of more current things. I'm just not willing to do it. Sorry. Be more than happy to split the time with another performer.

Dawn,

Splitting the time? Probably ok. Like two hours each?

Thanks

Having Fun

One of the fun part of doing this whole thing is getting to play around with doing flyers. I'm good at it. Thank you USC for playing for my training.
