OK! A hypothetical situation...your band is booked at a local country =
club. It pays $100 per man, and is a very nice gig!! Everything is going =
great, the band is cookin'!
During the last break, you find the manager and let him know you've =
enjoyed the gig, and you hope he'll call you again, so you hand him your =
card, and he informs you that one of your sidemen, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ =
_ _ just gave him HIS card, and suggested he call HIM the next time if =
he wanted a band since he, too, has a band.
What would YOU do?? Is this an ethical thing for a sideman to do? Would =
you hire that sideman again for another gig?=20
This is purely hypothetical...it follows a discussion I had with a =
fellow musician...as far as I know, it has NEVER happened to me! Just =
wanting to find out the thinking of all of you old-timers out there, who =
have been through all sorts of situations!=20
Is this an open market, where anyone can promote his band? I'm trying to =
find out what leaders like Ringwald, Hooks, Barbone, Wiggins, and others =
whose names I can't think of would do in a situation like this...
Thanks in advance for any thoughts or suggestions...
