Dear Dr. Guitar,
I am hoping you can help me on my road to fame and fortune.
I need some advice on how to secure good quality gigs. Following a recent rave review in my local gig guide "No Turn Unstoned", which described me as "something of a cult" (unfortunately a spelling error during typesetting has rendered it useless as a critique), I was spurred to writing off to a number of major recording artists to offer my services as a support act.
I enclosed a tape of some of my best material but as yet have only recieved one curt reply from Elton John which read "You Can't!" and even that was mis-spelt!
I know that, strictly speaking, this isn't your area of expertise but I would be grateful for any advice.
Yours,(waiting in the wings)
W.Annabee
