[Dixielandjazz] Band Dress or Undress

[gebooks]

Steve:
Saw a couple of signs in North Beach in SF in the '60's---one advertising
"Topless College Girls Band", but my favorite was the the one that said
"Topless Berkeley Housewives Band".
Re: band attire---if you want to look like 6 guys that wandered in off the
street with an instrument in hand, then come to work in t-shirts, jogging
shoes, etc. Want to look like an organized band (even if you are a throw
together group), then wear some kind of uniform. This works even when the
audience is in t-shirts.They expect a band to like like one.
