Re: Looping venue help

I don't want this to get out of hand, but it's something I feel very  
strongly about. When you play for free, you take a gig away from a  
musician that is trying to make a living.

Nice quote from Ol' Don. But if you notice, he's saying he didn't  
actually give it away. It's a nice sentiment, but sentiment don't pay  
the rent. I'm sure Mr. Villet understood that.
But hey, do what you gotta do. If you are ever in New Haven, look me  
up, I'm sure I can find something for you.
