I recently played in Phoenix and got asked to do "Sweet Home Alabama", "Margueritaville" (sp?), "Let's Get Drunk And Screw", anything by Louden Waynright (sp?), and any Phil Collins. After stump-the-original-musician-guy got underway, some vocal audience member shouted out "****ing shut up and let the guy play." Then he spoke out again and said "Just play YOUR songs, you ****ing rock!" At which the crowd did get back into the show.
That was a fun little gig. Actually, I ended selling a CD to the girl that booked the show. She liked me so much she wanted to pay for it. Then said she wants to bring me back to open for a National Band (with my band of course), and also to play solo in a new VIP lounge they have.
Needless to say, I was quite happy at that.
I do have about 3 1/2 to 4 hours of original material that I can do. But I do ocassionally learn a cover. I know about 3 at the moment.
I have to thank Jody Gnant for getting me to drive my Butt to Phoenix and playing two shows in one evening. One at her cool event, that had a kickin' outdoor stage and another at the infamous Cooperstown. I definietly plan on going back!
Jody

"Parents are notorious for telling you not to do something, but not telling you WHAT to do instead. So here are my thoughts. Don't bite the hand that feeds you, give it a manicure. Don't burn your bridges, go out and build more! And of course, Don't run with Scissors, use them to cut out your press clippings!" -Brian Austin Whitney
