Question please :P

so i was just wondering??!!
If a fine is a tax for doing well, will that tax be a fine for doing wrong!!???

g2go got orchestra practice in an hour better go warmup !!!!

Due to the fact that.....

I can see that music business is "flourishing" here in our beloved country so due to the fact that it is or might be or will be it doesn't matter its all the same, I as your friend in music will try to give you some pieces of advise to all of you newbies that want to play in gigs or restaurants or even start a "band" its not easy as you think!!



Top Facts of Life for Playing in Clubs and Restaurants:
  • Unless you are in a concert situation, most of the people are not there to hear you. Your music is incidental. People go to restaurants and bars to eat, to drink, to socialize, do business, or maybe to be alone in a crowd. So if you reach some of them and entertain them, you've done a hell of a job.
  • In most restaurants, your main objective is to try to entertain without bothering anybody.
  • Any volume is too loud for someone.
  • The crowd would rather hear a terrible rendition of "Sweet Caroline" than the tastiest arrangement of one of your originals that they've never heard before.
  • The customer who asked for "Sweet Caroline", his favorite song, won't realize you're playing it until you actually reach the word "Sweet".
  • Someone in the crowd will have halfway heard you play "Sweet Caroline" and it will remind him of the song so he'll request it right after you've just played it.
  • Your slowest night, with the most obnoxious crowd and the worst response, is immeasurably better than the best day you ever had at a day job!!!

NEW RULES FOR BANDS IN THE 21st CENTURY:

  • Never name a song after your band.
    Never name your band after a song.
  • Never start a trio with a married couple.
  • Before you sign a record deal, look up the word "recoupable" in the dictionary.
  • A string section does not make your songs sound any more "important".
  • If you sound like another band, don't act like you're unfamiliar with their music ("Oh does Rage Against The Machine also do rap-rock with political lyrics?")
  • Never enter a "battle of the bands" contest. If you know you're already a loser.
  • If you use a smoke machine your music sucks.

with all do respect to all the bands that are starting in Amman- Jordan... Good luck to all of you! Get some music theory lessons! And maybe read a book about being in Tune or in Harmony!

Remember... then PRAY

You were walking in the dark, lost, cold, tired, i bet you want to go to bet dring a hot cup of milk and sleep.... so at last you find a tunnel mybe you think this might be a way out of this dark place!! so you go to towards that tunnel, and you enter it fearing nothing!! having nothing on your mind but the image of a hot bath and clean bed sheets. you're half way through the tunnel, maybe less maybe more who knows! and you see a LIGHT you feel Happy, you start running towards it! now remember there is light at the end of Every tunnel just pray that its not a train!!

P.S (i'm so bored! this came out of my boredom)
