[QUOTE="Gene Hardage, post: 88196, member: 185"] Re: Charity Events Never do anything for free for any of the official charities. I have played countless fundraisers for individuals in small clubs - some of them I didn't even know but was asked by someone to do the gig so I did. Most of these events were me playing as a band for a short set and sometimes my guys would come along and other times I would just sit in with whoever was there. It's flattering to think that my name somehow helps make the event more profitable. There have been some events that I've worked like a dog all day and all night providing PA and full backline for multiple acts but these are for people I know and they are usually either very sick or in some cases they have already gone to that big jam in the sky and we're just doing some sort of tribute to them. Some of the PA gigs have payed a little but the band type are all freebees. New Orleans has a tradition of funeral parades in the streets to honor musicians. Our area seems to do a lot of before and after multi band events to honor and raise money for bills or tombstones. What does your area do for people? [/QUOTE]
