You made no point. Anyway, not sure why you wanna be a nuisance outta nowhere. I already told you from the onset that I don't require ins. Stop bothering me and polluting my thread.

The very title of this thread is: “Anyone ever perform in a paid gig?”.

I am a professional musician. My most recent paid gig was yesterday.

I am sharing professional advice with you, for free, for you *and others reading it* to do with it as they see fit. This is not private messaging.

If you’re not interested in following the advice, that’s your right.

If you’re not interested in engaging with me, stop replying.

Like I said, I already addressed you from the ONSET and said that I wasn't interested. NOBODY else cares about your insurance angle. You're the one who keeps bringing it up and constantly engaging ME when this subject is already done. Stop harassing me w your insurance selling, I couldn't care less.

Anyway, you 'win', time to block.

I would advise all others reading my thread to be careful about this guy, something's not right w his odd behavior. I already rejected his idea nicely and *repeatedly*, guy just won't take "no" for an answer. Freaking weirdo.

So, you do want to engage in discourse again—yet block?

I encountered people like you when I helped run boards like these, before your parents met.

I think you’re confused.

Anyone else: I’m happy to discuss music, if you like.

Ever since we started this journey, we always relied upon looking at the sheet music on our tablet/phone. However, someone recently mentioned something that really stuck w me and made an impression, so that night I went home and memorized about 3,4 songs. Finally! I think that I'm up to almost a dozen now, but we'll see next time we perform live again.

I guess there's no easy way to memorize but just by sheer repetition? Ofc some songs are easier to remember vs others. Any pointers?

For sure this is the way because it's kinda silly that I couldn't interact w the audience previously as my eyes were glued to the screen lol.
