I was happy with the review -- my feeling is even if it's mixed, it shows I was taking risks and not trying to be just a pleasant latin jazz singer. Though that's another item I should add to the contract: Performer reserves the right to artistic expression and will not restrict repertoire to 1960s bossa novas.Me Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03065973224789847682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13630144.post-58633890308731283482008-06-17T23:15:00.000-07:002008-06-17T23:15:00.000-07:00And what does the restaraunt owner understand abou...And what does the restaraunt owner understand about those pesky guitarists? Congratulations, by the way, Alexa, on the reasonable review in Downbeat. I thought the reviewer was a little silly, but ultimately, they were floating your boat.MonksDreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01925609181536862036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13630144.post-37812639057818146252008-06-15T10:30:00.001-07:002008-06-15T10:30:00.001-07:00Alexa is right.

I need to add something like that to my contracts. I recently had a sucky gig where the restaurant owner would literally come over to me after a given song and ask me to play up-tempo, or hurry up and play if I was pointing something out to the guitarist after several seamless segues.Me Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03065973224789847682noreply@blogger.com
