Seeing Purple Rain Reminds me I sang 2 songs in 4 1/2 hours. Opened with Good Hearted Woman and during the fury had an inspiration. I told Greg put me in 7. I aint never seen you do Prince. One of our reg gals (a student here at UNC went nuts when he title came up on the big screen. I motioned her up and she grabbed the other mic.
We nailed most of it then I started getting tired Forgot how long that song is but it's one of my all time favorites. If you have never done it you have to try it at least once. It is one of the best songs ever written. Later Greg did Purple Rain with the lights real low and everybody holding their cell phones up. It's amazing how an old artist can still take over a show..
It is about 8am here and after about 5 hrs sleep I'm still wired from last night. I made a deal with one of the owners for Thur nights Just to get started $100. Reg here now is $175 and I told him this is he only bar I would do that for Intention is getting 3 nights. He agreed I dont have any problems with raises when we pack out In fact we could demand about what we wanted. Also bar owners are coming in and checking us out and a bar 30 min East wants us bad. Thats another reason for being totally up front with the people you contract for. About 2 hours later my old mind kicked in and it dawned on me Why didnt I tell him we would do both thur and fri for $150 I'm going to call another owner mon with that prop.
They are going to move a wall to expand soon My goal is 3 nights/week for $600 which is very probable in about 6 mo.. Opinions? Ideas?
Edit These are pre coffee ramblings of an old mind.
And also how many songs you got in your hours you work.
