If a band jams in the woods and there's no one there to hear it, does it make a sound?

What is the sound of no hands clapping?

Jumpin' off the alt-blues thang and conceding that the no label thing is the better answer, how will folks ever know about the afore mentioned junque?

When I'm on the phone with Fred, the talent buyer and fry cook at Fred's World Famous Basement Lounge, trying to book a gig, he will ask; "What kind of music do you play?" What will the answer be? Remember, the fries are almost done and will burn if you don't answer in one sentence or less.

It works especially well when the person doing the booking is on the fence about trying something different.; ▶ Reply to This
