So yesterday I was doing my normal daily browsing of Craigslist musicians ads and I see one looking for a drummer to fill-in July 3 & 4. My band is taking those days off so I send an email and get a reply saying that the guitar player would like to call and talk. He called last evening while I was on the golf course and we chatted and I landed the gig ($100 per night cash) wooohoo!!..

So later in the day O was looking at craigslist and see anuther ad looking for someone to play on Saturday. That ad requested a phone call... I called but I was about 5 minutes too late as they already setup something with another drummer and were going to practice beginnings and endings last night... but if he sucked they would give me a call. But they also have my number to call if they need a fill-in

It is nice when they ask who I play with.. most of the bands have either heard of us or heard us. So I don't have to prove myself.

It is always interesting sitting in with band you have never played with before. So of keeps one on his toes.

I really love doing that sort of stuff. It keeps you on your feet and makes sure you don't get too comfortable playing with the same guys. Lately, I bet I'm sitting in more often than I'm playing something familiar. Member since at least October 2005!

I used to do that a lot years ago. It keeps things really fresh. -Mike - Member since January 6, 2007 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania U.S.A. "We don't stop playing because we grow old. We grow old because we stop playing." "My goal in life is to be as good of a person as my dog already thinks I am."
