John, accept that its lonely at the top. I love your place, and while you have a top night club, everyone and their fiddle-playing grandmother will be after you.
Its your place, you charge what you want. If the bands are good, trust me, they will come.
Fiddle-playa, let me teach you something.......
Ive been at Peter C's since you were probably a glime in your daddy's eye. Im not scum, MY career is professional, and Ive seen them come and go, but trust me, you tell a "friend" not to go to Pete's, and the band he/she likes is playing there, they will be there. weather you like it or not.
Also, get some class, if you dont like a place, shut your mouth, and let the business run itself in the ground.
Big John, You have been a friend for many years, and i know you can sure as hell stick up for yourself, but your place rocks, and no one, as long as i have the power will run it down.
Theres an old saying fiddleplayer, IF ITS TOO LOUD, YOU, MY FRIEND, ARE TOO OLD!!!!!!!!!!!!
