    Hazard Pay?

    This is for all the musicians on the board. In the bands I've played with, we always joke about our Hazard Pay List. These are songs that you have played several time more than once too often. They're not bad songs, just ones you dread playing........again. Don't forget to add the Hazard pay needed to play it.

    Mustang Sally $30 Great song. I've just played too too many times.

    That Old Time Rock and Roll $50. It's been long enough that the price is slowly going down

    Sweet Home Alabama $100 Nuf said.

    The Chicken Dance. $ Lots. This one requires Many zero's to the left of the decimal place. A fully loaded Armor car might contain enough money to get me to do it. We have literally turned down gigs because people required it.

    There are many others. Whats on your list?

    How much do you charge when someone shouts out "FREE BIRD!" between songs?
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    We do the cruelest thing we can do. We put down the guitars and do a pseudo Bluegrass version on Banjo, Mandolin, upright bass and brushes on snare. We shorten it a bit of course....

    I always thought Myron was genuine.

    In Tule when it would snow hard, we used to get drunk and watch the Lawrence Welk shows during the PBS pledge drives.

    They did have some serious musicians. No one could play the piano like Jo Ann Castle, even though they always put her in some silly ass costume.
