Ever wonder how a band gets off the ground? From rehearsing in my living room--Texas garages are prohibitively hot--to low-budget gigs to weddings where the sky is the limit. This is the story of The Original Recipe Band told from the point of view of the arranger and instigator-in-chief.

Gigmasters

So far so good.

We signed up with gigmasters.com on Saturday afternoon. Two days later we've popped up in a couple hundred searches, had about 50 viewings of our page inside the Gigmasters wall, and had one request for a bid. Pretty impressive for a hundred bucks a year.

The gig is a Tuesday afternoon in Carrollton, north of Dallas. I shouldn't imagine having a hard time booking musicians for that one, but just in case we have enough in the bid to charter a bus there and back. Slick.

And even if it doesn't pan out, it's (as Leroy said in Home Depot) a harbinger of things to come.

You bet.
