well yaw did a good job and the mistakes are excellent to leave in tones are clean enough its gets skipped over by listener.
Thanks. I love doing covers. People already have strong emotional attachments to the songs they hear. And, when they come listen to us (I have a band that I now only play with part time) they should hear exactly what they remember from the radio, studio, or concerts that they attended.
Music makes people laugh, dance, cry... They experience the gamut of emotions... When they already have an emotional attachment, those emotions are so much stronger. My job as a musician is to help you emote. You pay because I make it easier for you to emote. I make it easy for you to smile, to laugh, to sing, to dance, etc...
That's my job...
certainly do that job quite well i will say. id play to watch
Oh, we are a very expensive band. We do high end productions, complete with a laser show and whatnot. We do festivals, fairs, and things like that. We're not some six hundred dollar a weekend band, we're like 10x that just to show up. We have roadies and all the musicians are full time musicians. We show up with a dozen people, a giant box truck, and shit like that. Hell, we have our own stage that can be configured to be 40 x 20, complete with canopy, light racks, a projector, live video feeds of the crowd, etc...
The venues charge anywhere from $20 to $40 a ticket. We make the venues money, so we get paid well.
Basically, I formed the band based on the bits and pieces of someone else's band and then applied my many decades of experience. We fill a niche, a very well paid niche. It was a niche where there was no local competition, which also helps.
