Members Bro Blue Posted June 3, 2010 Members Share Posted June 3, 2010 My friend, this is why God gave us both ale and fine single malt scotch. Wish I could cross the pond and check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members notjonahbutnoah Posted June 3, 2010 Members Share Posted June 3, 2010 Beer and whiskey? Try coke. Three gigs a month would be perfect for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members maltomario Posted June 3, 2010 Members Share Posted June 3, 2010 Good luck CSM. I have a busy schedule myself (6 straight weeks of Fri/Sat shows) but I'm also a little younger and I'm playing with the same group of guys so that makes it a little easier. looking forward to your gig reports!

Frets99 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 That's the dilemma we should all have!!! I've been in two working bands at a time and it can be crazy! It'll be crazy for sure but what a lot of fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bro Blue Posted June 3, 2010 Members Share Posted June 3, 2010 Beer and whiskey? Try coke. Three gigs a month would be perfect for me. "Coke" as in the drink or "coke" as in blow? Seriously though, a drink every now and then doesn't hurt - unless you have had a problem with it in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members =JL= Posted June 3, 2010 Members Share Posted June 3, 2010 I'm an old fart in three different bands. The different sets are no problem, but the gear can be. I use different guitars and amps for each, but some of the small stuff (spare tubes, capos, slides etc) overlaps. It's VERY easy to forget to bring some important things.I occasionally find tuners, allen keys and bottlenecks I haven't seen for months when I start digging through little-used guitar cases!

Members Ferdinandstrat Posted June 3, 2010 Members Share Posted June 3, 2010 Coffee and cigarettes? Chuck, if theres anything I know about you is that you can cope with stuff like that, you may be a frail old man on the outside but you have the spirit of a 20 year old.

Members bsman Posted June 3, 2010 Members Share Posted June 3, 2010 If you stroke out, who gets the '63 strat... The way you'll cope is to find a couple of healthy, strong young fellows (acolytes) to haul your gear for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, a drink every now and then doesn't hurt - unless you have had a problem with it in the past. Haha, I didn't realize that could've been construed as constructive. I must admit I meant blow. Seems like the thing if you're busy. Alkyhaul tends to slow me down, unless its at a show, then insanity ensues. For the record, I'm not a coke guy, just attempting to be funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members nuke_diver Posted June 3, 2010 Members Share Posted June 3, 2010 Good thing they are not Back to back to back gigs Least you've got some time for the old bones to recover between the 2nd and 3rd gigs I suggest Swedish massage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bsman Posted June 3, 2010 Members Share Posted June 3, 2010 I suggest Swedish massage Is that a particular technique, or simply a massage given by her someone like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members csm Posted June 3, 2010 Author Members Share Posted June 3, 2010 And then there were two ... Peter Conway just called to say that the promoter of Tuesday's gig has lost his slot at the venue, so it'll have to be rescheduled. And did I say that each gig also required an individual rehearsal? Now it's just the Crosstown and Blast gigs ... Got to admit ... I'm relieved! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
