Subject: =?iso-8859-1?Q?Resum=E9s?
I've got a question that we might have covered on both lists. Excuse me if
we did.
When can you put on your resume that you've played, sat-in with another
performer, band, orchestra.
I read enough bio to know that a lot of guys get to sit in with a lot of
notable players/groups. When can you really take credit for it though.
Also, if you have played with notable players/groups, should you be able
to use them as a reference?

I guess what I'm looking for is credibility in a musician. Like I said,
I've read the bios of quite a few bands and seen who they've backed up
opened for and played with. From the club side, I know how these things get
booked. It ain't rocket science. From a performance side, the band may know
you're a good player or they might have gotten you up there because the
management wanted that to happen or it's the only way the band could get
you off their back or while your on stage the guy that's sitting out is
hitting on your woman.

I'm updating my resum=E9 and I was debating putting on it some of the people
I've had the chance to play with a few times. The problem is, after seeing
so many bad bands with very impressive bios, I know most clubowners aren't
impressed with it.

The other thing. With all the players on these list, how come I don't read
about any headcutting going on.
