Dean,
I saw you guys play at Marty's a few times and I really enjoyed your work. My fiance and I live right down the street and are impressed with some of the people playing there. We play in the group three man hill and just had a show there and are playing there again this weekend. I'm wondering what your opinion is about the pay. We were happy with it but I'm not to up to date about compensation.
Josh

josh,
oh boy,
here we go again
(just Kiddin')
First off,
Let me say thank you for the kind words.
Pay?
It's not always a great idea to compare
what a club owner is paying different bands
Some bands get more or less then others for lots of reasons . Unless you are in the union playing the circuts there really is no "Going Rate"
I am happy with what Marty is paying
i think he is fair and easy to talk to
I think if you have a good time at a gig and you make a little coin then all is well
anyway,
what kind of group is "three man hill"
what's your mix of cover/orig ?
what's your schedule like?
dean

Dean,
Thanks for your reply. I see what you mean. I guess the question I really meant to ask is how do you determine what your asking price should be? I think we're pretty decent but I really don't know anyone well enough to ask them what they think we should get paid. I'm happy making whatever but I want to be professional when I'm talking to a patron. Anyway, enough of the biz. three man hill consists of mainly me and my fiance Helen. I play guitar and sing and she plays violin. We do have a drummer who plays shows when he's available. We play pretty much all originals. We've been throwing in a few more covers lately with some success. I think our style can be seen alot of different ways. I view it as some folk with some rock with some country with some blues, etc. I've never been good at describing our sound.

"SERIOUS CONTRIBUTOR"

Please Rj
as a "serious Contributor" there is a certain
"code of conduct" that we "SC's" expect
and number 1 is
that you must take the act of being a
"serious contirbutor" how shall we say...
Seriously!
your sarcasum is not welcome by such noted
serious contributors as Scott or davey o. whom I am certain do not take thier roles as rolemodel serious contributors lightly
I for one feel that being a "Just Plain folk"
(oh by the way when I first joined I thought the organization was for people that flew allot) is not enough and that we should all strive to be "all that we can be" in Brian's army of "serious contributors"
I do wonder though if it should be open only to "serious musicians"
in which case...
I'm out.

So why does it still say "casual observer" next to my name???
There is nothing casual about me anymore. My life has completely changed.

because,it is obvious that you cannot carry yourself in a manner deemed worthy of an 'SC.' Drinking beer, womanizing, and playing music is no way to go through life. ESPECIALLY carrying the banner of 'SC.' Think of all of those that look up to you now? The children! Those less fortunate! Great men have fought and died for this! And you spew words like 'yippee...' HOW DARE YOU!!! The LEAST you can do is toss in a 'YABBA DABBA DOO!'

This will most likly be my last post. I was very excited about hopefully becoming an "SC" someday. But after finding out I must give up womanizing, playing music, and of all things, DRINKING BEER, I will have no part of it. As much as I look up to all of you "SC's" I do not think I can deal with the loss of life's simple pleasures all in an attempt to set a good example. Next thing ya know, you will have to give up anti depressants. I just can't deal with it man.

Carl,
I really don't think that you "Belong" on this post, your little 20-some posts might make you a big man in "perrysburg" but your not quite ready to swim with the big dogs yet.
Go home and get some post-it stickers and practice in the privicy of your bathroom and get back to us when you think you are ready to be a "SERIOUS CONTRIBUTOR"
(or just post about 19 one word posts like I did)
"Serious Contributors, we're looking for a few bored musicians that either work at home or on computers"

We're not so sure that Dean should retain his status as "SERIOUS CONTRIBUTOR". His misspelling of 'Contributor', (see previous post), concerns us greatly...

Glad I could bring back some childhood memories for you.
I have edited the spelling mistake, I hope you fellow "SC" will not hold this against me
I would hate to lose my "Status" that gets me into busy Restaurants (McDonalds) and preferred seating (behind the poles)at major events like Disney on Ice
PLEASE Brothers ,let's try to puts this ugly mess behind us and Move forward.

I'm guessing "loose" instead of lose and "resturant" instead of restaurant were ON purpose...

I must admin, the vow of chastity was the hardest thing about becoming an 'SC.'
And yes, 'FlammaLammaDingDong' has been included in the official 'JPF Acceptible Lexicon - 2003.' Though, you'll have to wait until january 1'st to use it. (The 2002 version has not been updated.)
