Thread Name: Discount CDs at gigs
Subject: RE: Discount CDs at gigs
An interesting point

When someone enquires, why not ask them why they should want one of yours?

If I did not want one in return I'ld say

'Thanks, but , no thanks, my wife wont let me swap, she makes me pay her for every one, nor will my 3 kids, who incidently havent eaten today'

or' Nah, dont like your gear'

or
'Aint got room, thats why I'm having to sell these'

I never say I have CDs, I always wait until someone asks, and they usually do, then again sometimes not.

I regard selling a CD as a bonus, not an expectation, certainly not a right.

Its an opportunity but as I have gotten my fee I have already been rewarded.

I always make sure the club does not make a loss wherever I gig as I wish to leave it in as good or better financial situation than when I arrived, then I hope to return sometime, unless I am forced to take more than I deserve which can make me feel guilty,for a short while, but accept it graciously, I think.

For me its all about cooperation and sharing

Boy this beer is good stuff
