First off... Thanks again for more great feedback y'all. Plenty to chew on here...
At the risk of highjacking a thread I started... Just wanted to give a quick update on this monthly "gig" I've been referring to. All went well last month. Tonight was the night for January. I was just sitting here practicing the set list, getting excited about bringing the 12 string out for the first time... Then the bass player calls and tells me the "gig" is canceled. This place has only been doing live music for a couple months and apparently BMI/ASCAP just now caught up with them. When they saw the royalty fees they were about to get hit with, they just decided to cancel all live music from now on. So much for public domain.... Sigh...
