zeronyne MP Hall of Fame Member Registered: 05/16/03 Posts: 6232 Loc: Chicago/NW Indiana	These guys: have played together For FIFTY years There was an AP article about them yesterday. LINK So what's their secret? Quote: They remain neighbors, of a sort: Each band member lives on the Kansas side of the Kansas City suburbs. But offstage, they remain at arm's length. Each drive's separately to shows. "We're not pals," Fletcher said. "We're co-workers. We show up, we play and we go home." Oh, and they don't have a bass player: $\:D$ _________________________ United Airlines Breaks Guitars

Originally they did have a bass player but he left when they started touring because they couldn't fit his 8x10 in the van along with the piano. _________________________ Feel the groove internally within your own creativity. - fingertalkin I'm playing in a band with no website, facebook, myspace or demo but still getting gigs? How does that work then?
