Location: NJ | Last Friday Night, I had probably one of th’Best solo gigs I’ve had in recent memory.
Being in the Doldrums of Winter these past few weeks, driving to/from gigs in th’rain, snow, & cold; loading/unloading gear in/out of the car while standing in ankle-deep slush, and playing the same-old-tunes in the same-old-places for the same-old-faces that are just as “sick-of” this Time of Year puts a definitive “crimp” in th’FunFactor of WHY y’even bother t’DO this Sh!t anymore . . .
Granted, getting $200/gig plus an average of $60-80 in th’TipJar for something that you “enjoy” doing isn’t hard t’take, but sometimes driving with a sore back and a headache at 3am in sweat-soaked clothes on a 15-degree night, you find yourself ASKING yourself “WHY th’F@ck are you even DOING this??”
Last Friday’s gig was somewhat different.
The venue itself was quite a nice in that it was a very nice, “up scale” Restaurant/Bar located on the grounds (right ON th’runway, in fact) of a small, local airport. I’d played there once before, but that was the NightAfterChristmas, and was shitty weather, so there wasn’t much of a crowd. This time, the place was PACKED, I had gotten there directly from Work so I had PLENTY of time to casually load-in, set-up the’PA (& four guitars), and do a proper sound-check before my 9:30 start-time.
I’d just come back inside from loading the empties into my car & moving it from th’LoadingZone, when th’FamiliarFaces started to meld-in with the already crowded bar area . . .
Several people from my Office stopped-by for Dinner/Drinks, & t’hang for “th’Show” which is always appreciated.
As more & more people came-in, th’Faces, while STILL “Familiar”, were Ones that I hadn’t “seen” in a L-O-N-G Time, including:
A Friend (and his wife) that I’d know since SECOND GRADE, when he came to his FirstDay in a NewSchool in a NewCountry. Coming from Italy, he didn’t know a WORD of English (we naturally taught him all th’SwearWords, first;-) We were friends & lived in th’Neighbourhood together all thru HighSchool, & then just “LostTouch” (as which UsuallyHappens).
Throughout my HighSchoolYears, I had two other cohorts whom I shared a “ThreeMusketeers”-type relationship. We had found absolutely NO Difficulty getting into Trouble together, and thru Thick/Thin, we ALWAYS faced-it together. I’d recently been able to re-connect with each (separately), but the other two guys hadn’t seen each other in OVER 25 years! They also brought their respective wives, & commandeered a booth together.
Another friend (from post-HighSchoolYears) whom I don’t see very often anymore, as his wife is good friends with my “ex”, so I sadly kinda’ “Lost Him in th’Divorce”.
He came with his two grown sons.
A couple who BOTH lived (in different houses) in the OldNeighbourhood where I grew-up(?). They were both 7-8 years younger than I, and I can remember when they were BOTH the infant siblings of friends that I had. They grew-up, married, and have families near to where we all grew up. I hadn’t seen either in a VERY Long Time!
My ex-BandMate, Rick showed-up to “Case th’Joint” as he was playing a subsequent gig there. He ended staying most of th’Night.
Two of Jeanette’s co-workers (whom I had played their outdoor wedding on CapeCod, LastSummer) showed-up – after driving a LONG distance from SouthJersey . . .
It was QUITE bizarre to be (unexpectly) playing to such a W-I-D-E “Cross-Section” of people in MyLife (especially those I hadn’t seen in such a L-O-N-G Time!).
The Gig went VeryWell, and it was kinda’ hard t’tell who was having more “FUN” . . . Them or Me.
About a week-and-a-half ago, I turned 54.
My friend, Cheryl customarily asks someone having a birthday to impart some “Words of Wisdom”.
When she called me on MyBirthday, I was caught “unprepared”, and asked if I could “get back” to her.
She made it plainly evident that I was by NO MEANS “Off th’Hook” . . .
When I got home from that gig (at 4am) and all of the gear was safely stowed in the garage, I poured a couple fingers of Talisker, and e-mailed her the following “Words of Wisdom” :
ON GIGGING(at”MyAge”) :
“. . On th’DriveHome after a Gig, You spend exactly HALF of th’Time telling yourself “You’re “TooOld” for ThisShit . .
. . you spend the OTHER Half telling yourself THIS is th’Shit that keeps You from getting “TooOld” . . “ |

I recently saw some pictures someone took of Karl and me playing in a bar in Germany, which was the closest thing I ever had to a gig. I really enjoyed it and didn't realize there were so many people there. Most of them looked like they were having fun, except for one guy who was fast asleep. |

So on Thursday and Friday before his gig, I learned about 40 of the tunes, mostly I IV V stuff. Then we played on Saturday. I had a blast. Now at 59, it's one of my best memories.
I can't imagine how good yours are.
Great story. |

No WONDER I was handing-out "refunds" over th'course of th'night & LOST money on th'deal.
Yeah Jeff, "Networking" is whole NUTHER gig on it's own. On THIS particular one, I'd had this decent pic that a local photog-friend had taken from a previous gig, & worked-it-up into an "ad" that went to the venue, my webpage, MySpace, FaceBook, blanket e-mail, etc. THAT was probably th'impetus for such a decent "turn-out".
It was a "nice" place, and was somewhat centrally-located to everyone, so it was a good one to "promote".
Usually, I just don't go thru all th'trouble. Firstly, I don't really like sending people stuff like that & putting them on-th'spot to where they feel "obligated". Secondly, THESE people are all around th'same "Age" that I AM. How many of YOU guys're in the habit of driving a half-hour to a bar somewhere where the "entertainment" starts at 9:30-10:00?? I had a COUPLE of comments that I was STARTING "past Their BedTime . . ."
That's why I generally play a two-hour FirstSet for all of the "Oldsters"(like myself), then it's good-bye hugs&kisses during th'break, and then th'SecondSet to try & keep "th'Kids" there till 2a.m. (That's when th'REAL "Work" starts) . . .
. . . mebbe I AM "TooOld" fer ThisSh!t . . . . |

Most of the places I play are little upscale restaurants, bistros, cafes and coffee houses, and I travel light with a Roland AC 60 acoustic chorus amp. It works great for what I need. I play a lot of private gigs also - especially in the summer. And Christmas parties. I pick where I want to play, which keeps it fun and interesting.
Still get creaky back and knees, though. :D |

We should send Cliff to the mothership and have an MP3 player installed in his head. He could be like the 1st Ovation Idea performer. Just wheel him out on stage, plug him in, and he could play til he's 74. Load him up with John Denver & Neil Diamond songs just to screw with him. |

And I am only 48! |

But I've also found that sitting restricts the diaphragm & limits your "projection" (& I tend t'project a lot). I tend t'sing much better when I'm standing.
Sitting for a long time also tends t'make me feel a bit "complacent" (it's kinda' like having yet ANOTHER "DeskJob" for FourHours . . . when I'm s'posed t'be having "Fun"). Staying On-My-Feet allows me to "move" & helps keep the EnergyLevel "up".
I guess if I was just doing a night of NeilYoung/JamesTaylor/JacksonBrowne "dirges" & th'like, I could "sit" th'whole night . . but I tend t'do a lot of "up-tempo" stuff, as well.
I have some tall, metal IKEA stools that my ex-partner & I used t'gig with. They're at a good level where you can park yer ass on it & be "half-sitting" & then just kick the stool out from under you when you wanna' "stand" . . . but it ends just just being yet ANOTHER piece o'crap to transport, so I generally don't bother . . .
I guess it just kinda' depends on th'Gig. |

I like to sit when I play guitar, but I really need to practice more while standing up, just in case I ever get asked to play where they don't have anything to sit on. |

Don't know what it is . .
