One night in a local Karaoke bar, I was approached by some men who had a covers band and were looking for a lead singer. I went to an audition, and they were pretty impressed, but they wanted to make sure I was committed for at least a year.
“No problem”, I said, being single and having very few social commitments outside my job.
So I got to be the lead singer and went out and bought like $300 worth of gear, and practised like crazy.
The first gig went really well, except that almost all the audience were my friends. Then a few days after that, the bass player called me to let me know the drummer had quit.
I haven’t heard from them since.
I still haven’t been paid for the gig.
