How many out of work musicians out there

[meetmrfist2]

been playing music professionally since early 70s and unfortunately my playing days have come to a halt with this virus closing all the venues.....applied for a PUA and was surprised that it went through,took a little while so now things are looking better....cant wait to get out and rock the world again soon.....peace

Me and my buds are getting together this week for a little social distancing jam session...we got a nice big lawn and we’ll byob...I’ve got a battery powered 3 watt guitar amp for electric but I think the plan for the most part is acoustic...I can’t wait!!!

I play the vibraphone. Very few musicians do. If you have ever tried to move one, you shall know why.

I can imagine that chore.....it takes my drummer almost a hour to set his kit up for a gig......

Well, some of the band kinda unsure yet and wanted to hold off...we could move it all outside and distance but that’s a pain in the @$$ especially if your not getting paid(just jammin)... sure wish some of these virtual jam scenarios worked better...we tried one that went nowhere...

Does he have a Neil Peart / Danny Carey kit, i.e. a non-percussionist could walk into the kit and vanish forever?

he has a few different kits seems like he uses big kit for small venues and small kit for big venues....go figure.....
