Arenas. While I can only play with myself.

I have played a few arenas, but mostly smaller venues, I've seen just about
every bar in the country, and lots of theatres, festivals, etc. Do Holiday
Inn's even have lounges? I can honestly say I have not been in a hotel
lounge to see a musical act since about 10 years ago while touring through
Houston I saw a little girl by the name of Leanne Rimes (sp?). She blew me
away, but I guess I am not the only one, as she had already recorded her
first album and was waiting it's release.

Have you ever played the Commack Arena?

The Little Bear?

Did you ever meet Commander Cody?

None of that rings a bell, sir.

I played a national radio show today. And no, I won't say which one.

Oops. I didn't mean it that way! I play with regional bands. Some have
recordings that they are trying to distribute nationally, but I can't call
them national acts. I do get to work with people from nationals, during
recording etc, and I get to open for them quite often also. Not always a
good experience, btw. A friend of mine's band toured with and opened for
KISS during a European leg of their tour a few years ago, and you would
think it would be really cool, but it really wasn't for them. Sometimes
crowds are cruel. Obviously they are not usually there to see the opening
acts.

No, sir. But eating the #9 combo at Taco Bell can be brave!

that sucks, man.
from what I've heard some of these small bands actually don't get paid to be
the opening act on a big tour either. of course one can understand the
audience being impatient to see the big band they've come to see, but IMHO
they should at least give the support band a chance and listen.

My philosophy, in essense, is the concept of man as a heroic being,
with his own happiness as the moral purpose of his life, with
productive achievement as his noblest activity, and reason as his only
absolute. - Ayn Rand
================================================== ====================
My suggestion is to completely ignore idiots like Leland. They are the
lowest form of pond scum. People like him have tried unsuccessfully in
the past to disrupt the newsgroup. The best medicine is to completely
ignore them. As I'm sure you'll see, they're most intelligent response
is to yell nasty names. Other than that, they have nothing.

The best lesson I was ever given about usenet came about six years
ago when someone told me to take everything, and everyone, with a
mine full of salt, at least in this context, as it can either be art,
trolls, or someone being serious, and you never know quite which. Me,
I just, mostly, don't give a ****. Some of the most entertaining
usenetizens are the kooks in the belfrey...

"I went to the Garden of Love,
And saw what I never had seen;
A Chapel was built in the midst,
Where I used to play on the green.

And the gates of this Chapel were shut
And "Thou shalt not," writ over the door;
So I turned to the Garden of Love
That so many sweet flowers bore.

And I saw it was filled with graves,
And tombstones where flowers should be;
And priests in black gowns were walking their rounds,
And binding with briars my joys and desires."

William Blake.

people from all races, creeds and colours shall put their faith in

Warriors of the Rainbow, protectors of the environment."
