TEST YOUR ABILITIES TO BE A REAL MUSICIEN, for free with the DAGOUSKET Ramblers!________________________________________ You're a Real Musician ______________When the gig you drove 200 miles for to make $100, and had to pay for a hotel room, is later referred to as your "summer tour"._____________________________When your most sincere, heartfelt comments are made by people that are drunk and who won't remember you in the morning.__________________________When someone comes up to you to tell you how much they love your playing, because they didn't think anyone played those things anymore._________________________When someone seeks you out to complement your playing as the "best Piano player they have ever heard", and you're the Steel guitar player._________When you realize that replace your vintage guitar will take years of weekly gigs to pay for._____________________________________________You aren't offended when all of the young wedding guests leave after the second set to dance to the DJ at a club down the street._______________ When the bandleader or club owner wants to pay you in food or drinks, and you still have to fill gas to get back home.___________________________When the guy collecting money at the door for the band's performance makes twice over the course of the evening what you do as one of the band members.____________________________________________________ When as a member of a Hillbilly band you no longer even pretend to smile when asked to play "Dixie".__________________________________________When you know that other musicians who routinely claim they don't work for less than $100 a night only work a few times a year.__________________When people who are drunk tell you that what you are doing is absolutely great and the best thing thing they have ever seen or heard, but refuse to pay more than $5 at the door.____________________________When someone calling the cops for noise is a good thing. You get to go home early and you still get paid._____________________________________When you realize that asking women out that you meet on gigs doesn't work, for now they know you're a musician.____________________________When you get invited to play the same gig the following year, which means that you don't have tear down after this year's gig.________________When you have, for several years, been paid the same amount for a gig, but are afraid to say anything about it for fear that you might lose the gig.________________________________________________________ __When you spend more on the bar tab than you get paid for the gig._________When you finally have to resort to playing Oh Suzanna! with an Harmonica, in order to get the audience square-dancing.
