[Dixielandjazz] playing on the streets

[tcashwigg at aol.com]

Different scenario Jim,  Playing and promotion ones own business in a 
Mall with thousands of people is a lot different than playing in 
business establishment, and it is all in how the situation is put 
together and handled.  But even as we just saw Larry's explanation 
about what happened in a St. Louis Mall shows how intricate each 
particular situation can be.   There are indeed many issues to consider 
when trying to negotiate a deal that is beneficial to all concerned 
parties.

What works in on situation may not be the ideal situation in  another, 
we are just throwing out possibilities for a trial and error process, 
some situations will work very well and others may not, but if someone 
does not try nothing will happen, especially if nobody knows the band 
even exists or that they are in fact available to play.

As usual there are no shortages of differing opinions on this fine list 
of mal contents  :))
Damned if we do and damned if we don't :))   Nothing new under the Sun 
:))

Cheers,

Tom Wiggins

    >Along the same line, perhaps we need to form OKOM BUSKING CLUBS  
for people
to meet, pick a locale to go play at, then go do it!]

Didn't poor Kaye Wade get her chops busted awhile back on DJML for
supposedly playing a lunch gig for tips?  Now, someone else is 
proposing it
as a GOOD idea?

What's the deal?

Jim
