That reminds me of the bars in Gulf Shores/Orange Beach. Ive played in different cover bands for different pay, at the same bars, and heard different stories from the same bar manager, who didnt' remember I had played in there before with another band. (Funny how ppl dont' remember bass players,
)
Best advice for any musicians - Expect to be fucked over. And have lots of patience when it happens. You will live longer with less stress. Always be professional.
