If you build it they will come! Be better than good and stick with it. No magic wand or secret formula. But then ....... there is that secret meeting at the crossroads.

Keith, part of dues-paying is not playing as often as you like, or where you like. Like playing in the garage (woodshedding). It goes under the "not sucking" heading. I've said numerous times, and PMAC reiterated it... no magic button or secret handshake, just be good at whatever odd, unpopular thing you play. I hope to be good at something myself, someday, and keep working at it.
And have fun. The easiest way to get people interested in something they have no clue about is to make it look like something they'd want to do. Just keep chipping away at the stone, kiddies. I guarantee it won't be in vain.

I heard my name.


I get booked at shaw's with whoever I'm with. I could juggle dead puppies. And its really only because i spent half my life savings there. :wink: <3 Missy. Mystery Train tonite!

But anywhooo... Booking never seemed to be too much trouble. If places don't get back to you, just keep barking up that tree. They can't ignore you forever. PMAC & Songsmith are totally right, except about the handshake part. Thats super secret. We're a special elite team of ninja's sent to protect the world from evil and you can't play with us, Butters. (episode 801)
Laugh if you want to, really is kinda funny, 'cause the world is a car and you're the crash test dummy.

Good things are starting to come from my frustrated rant!

Songsmith, I love the quote about the tea party! Can't stand those F'ers.
