[Dixielandjazz] No wonder live music is in trouble

[Steve Barbone]

You know things in the music business are bad when you see bands begging for
a place to play. And then advertise working "cheap". Veteran pro musicians?
Shoot, they can't even spell "musician" correctly.

No &#$#@#&#$#^%*& wonder live music is in trouble.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone

Three veteran, Pro Muicians who all have other bands, but enjoy playing
together, have a "just for fun" Blues Band. This allows us to work cheap for
your Club, Private Party or event. We just need you to give us a place to
play.
