I started out mixing in clubs for $25 and all the ginger ale I wanted... It was a way to develop my craft, and build up a rep. After sticking with it, I now can easily demand what I consider to be pretty good rates, on the higher end locally for what I do. I know where I come from financially, and consider it having paid my dues to get where I am today.

...so you wouldn't go out and do a show for 50 bucks either, eh?

Actually, as a performer, I would play for 50 bucks cash in pocket for what Roach describes.

I continue to judge every situation on it's own, and have done some low stress mixing jobs for very little moolah in the last year. When it happens, it's not to undercut anyone, or keep rates from being reasonable for anyone. More often than not, it's doing someone a favour for one reason or another, who wouldn't have a reasonable and professional out.

I continue to find that once people experience a new level of quality, it isn't too long before they expect it. I think this goes for broad entertainment value, as well as anything technical. To me the more this continues to happen, the better it gets for everyone.

I think everyone gets that Jef.

I thank you for continuing to be part of this community.

Honestly Clint... It was far from great circumstances, but what you did opening for Glen at AKhord was very fine.

I sincerely mean you could do that kind of thing anywhere and do well.

You can lurk here anytime...

Baby Jesus would definitely be pissed at you...

i thought it was leviticus bikeride 87:23 seventy two.

but,

imma buddha(ist)...so i dunno

Still in school gentlemen, no time for shinnanigans ...yet.

Well, I went out last night and had a blast. The weekly events could still probably use more support, however the few people that were there enjoyed themselves quite a bit. I'm looking forward to more of these! Clinton was awesome, and I got one of those little sample cards from him so that I can download some demo stuff. Anyways, very enjoyable...

Thanks Matt, it was great to meet you. Big thanks to those who came out. Thanks to Sean for having me there (you were great!). Aside from having beer spilled on most of my stuff, I had a great time!

Sorry man, I really felt bad about that. The guy means well, but last night it just wasn't the right time or place for his "style" of fun.

Anyways, I want more of your music. Where can I go about purchasing the songs from your set list? The last one is still stuck in my head...

hahaha....no worries. I liked him well enough. I know about "bar" shows.

That last song is called Only Love/Only Fear and hasyet to be recorded. That was a song by my old band, The Carousels. There is a live version of it on my youtube channel if you like. http://www.youtube.com/clintoncharlton

I'll take what I can get. But you should seriously record all of these songs so that I can buy them.

hahaha....you offering studio discounts?

clinton wrote:hahaha....you offering studio discounts?

How about you come over and do a "show" and I'll "test" some new mics...?

If you like the results of said testing, and want to purchase these results I won't try to stop you.

If you are serious about looking for studio time however... you can send me a message.

I'm always serious about studio time. Once I'm done with my current record, maybe we can talk about doing some recording if you'd be into it.
