Yeah if I were to have to play for an audience I ight have a beer or two

I usually do shots of rum, and a rum and coke on the amp. The rum helps limber up my vocal chords. The rum and coke helps cool things down. I also have a half-dozen bottles of water at my feet - though I tend to grab one, open it, and set it on a stack. It's not my job to put the drinks there, I just expect them to be there.

Literally, all I do now is show up and play - and sometimes rehearse with the band. That't it. I don't even bring my own guitars to the stage. I do a quick sound check, but that's just to refine what was already done for me.

It's a pretty sweet job.

I enjoy a rum and coke occasionally but it tastes too damned good and goes down too fast

Beer doesn't do a damned good thing to my voice and I'm not really a beer drinker these days. Plus the rum and coke will stay cold for the duration of the set.

If I finish it, I expect the venue to refill it without me having to do anything.

I am kinda pampered. In my defense, I'm pretty fucking sure I've earned the right to be pampered and treated like a star. I am a goddamned VIP.

Speaking of which, I need to head to the venue sometime soon. We go on at 21:00 and it's 18:30 right now.
