Thread Name: good music/wrong audience experiences?
Subject: RE: good music/wrong audience experiences?
We were asked to peform on St. Patrick's Day at a large sports bar in downtown Phoenix... that's right during the middle of March Madness- college basketball championships-- and no one in the bar was interested in Irish music. All had their backs to us watching the big-screen tvs around the room.   Great money - no fun. We all agreed we'd rather play for our friends at the local St. Patrick's day parade and festival for a trivial sum of money.

We did meet one of the members of the Moody Blues who was having a drink there during our sound check.
