The very next show they didn't have the check so I didn't unload the equipment, hopped back in the car and went home. You should have went back the next day with some friends and ordered a really big meal and then when they brought you the check, you should've said... I'm sorry but when you pay me what you owe me than I'll pay what I owe you.

The gig wasn't to provide funds but to give their members a social outlet.

Smooth's one show just happens to be less than a mile from my one work stop when I'm down there, and I'm typically staying in Ft. Myers. _________________ Co-host of The Greatest Song Ever Sung (Poorly), a karaoke-themed podcast

I am just down the street from Smoothe, and you could have made it "two" I was just down to one of Smoothe's show this past April. If I had known that you were around there, I would have taken an extra day or so to visit you as well.

Cue, any time you are going to head down there, let me know. I'm there for work once a month or once every other month. _________________ Co-host of The Greatest Song Ever Sung (Poorly), a karaoke-themed podcast
