Thread Name: A Gig From Hell
Subject: RE: A Gig From Hell
Pat, that's a well-known musician's rule in Canada: NEVER take a gig in a bar during the Stanley Cup playoffs, if there's any chance a TV will be turned on.
In fact, I found that out on the very first bar gig I ever played, which after the Friday game fiasco got shortened from two nights to one, saving the sleazy manager twenty-five bucks which he never intended to pay me anyway.
Live and learn. Try to do both anyway.
