Members ggm1960 Posted October 24, 2009 Members Share Posted October 24, 2009 Folks play our farmer's market for free almost every Saturday. The ad kind of sucks, but . Is it worth getting worked up over? I don't get it either......I find it extremely easy to ignore these type of ads just like the "join me, I'm going to be a rock star but I need a band" type ads.

Members pdiddy Posted October 24, 2009 Members Share Posted October 24, 2009 Ha! My wife is from Jacksonville and I've been to this place before when visiting her parents for Christmas. Years ago we stopped in for the "flea market" part of the place. They had a sh*tty little circus performing and the guy had 5 or 6 full grown Bengal Tigers in these tiny little rusted cages!It looked like one of the tigers had an infected claw and needed medical attention. I lost my f*cking mind and started a near riot. I'm not some animal rights lunatic or anything, it was just so f*cking wrong I wanted to kill those f*ckers on the spot! The circus owner probably answered an add that read - We will let you perform for free... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members boxorox Posted October 27, 2009 Members Share Posted October 27, 2009 Well, I guess generally it depends on whether you are a slut or a whore. Me, I'm a little slutty. I'd play for a six pack and a good barbecue sandwich, mostly. In town with friends. But if you want the whole band, you will pay us for four hours, you will pay us for travel, you will pay us for the same on rehearsal time. You will pay us Boocoo Big Boy, and you will get your moneys worth. So I guess I'm kind of a whore. Hell, we'd woodshed for a year until we had 5 hours of material down before we'd even ask for a job. This crap about people who write six songs over spring break and then split the door with six other bands and wind up owing the sound man is ridiculous. I play music because I love it. I play music because others enjoy it. I play music for free. However, I do charge for travel time, humping big black boxes, phone calls, promotional material, and all ancillary time and effort. So yes. I agree. Music should be free. As a fact, it's the only thing I'll give away. But you will pay me for my trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members faileddrummer Posted October 27, 2009 Members Share Posted October 27, 2009 Which proves what a hillbilly area this is. The CL daily postings don't help. My friend who plays guitar and teaches in Orlando thinks THAT town is backward, but it's NYC compared to Jax. Of all the towns in Florida, Jacksonville has the fewest complete sets of teeth. Guess you've never been to Ruskin, Thonotosassa, Seffner, or Riverview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GuitarPlayerFL Posted October 27, 2009 Author Members Share Posted October 27, 2009 Guess you've never been to Ruskin, Thonotosassa, Seffner, or Riverview I visited some relatives in Brandon and they wanted to bar hop. (Not my thing as I rarely drink) We went to some biker bar by a lake and it had the scariest people I'd ever seen. Some that looked like they would slit your throat for $5. I much prefer the yuppie hangouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we break down after a gig at 3:00 a.m. I tell the band "this is the part we're getting paid for". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
