RnB Soul Open Mics: 10 Rules of Engagement
10) Learn "Sweet Thing" by Chaka in Every Key.....
9) Invest in a "poker face" (practice a face in your spare time that won't let on that someone has no talent)
8) Learn every Jill Scott song
7) Be prepared to scream "Go in Poet !"
6) Don't back up the kat who made the track that he wants you to play over while he forgets his rhyme because he will want you to produce tracks for him for free
5) Learn "Sweet Thing" again
4) Develop a tolerance for "My Funny Valentine" (and be prepared to go to the B section at anytime)..LoL
3) If alergic to profanity, inscents, shea butter, ion bracelets, $5dollar eps(2 for $10), references to fruit, the moon, the stars, the word "energy", : Don't show up
2) be prepared to be blamed for a singer not knowing a song, and more than likely it will be a song that she wrote that you never heard a day in your life that has no repeating melody notes for 3 consecutive minutes!...LoL (oh and it will modulate )

If-Then Statements
When I was in College the last class I took before I could graduate was Logic. I never dreamed that I could use Logic on my gigs. Well here are a Few "If/Then" Statements" from my gig tonight.
1) IF: Soundcheck is at 4:30pm, THEN: you really are checking at 6:30pm
2) IF: you are the opening Act, THEN: expect to get nothing out of your stage monitors until the last tune.
3) IF: it's been 45 minutes and the second band hasn't went on yet THEN: Your bread just might be short!
4) IF: you go in the "green-room" and there's no green to be found (i.e. fruit, vegetable platter) THEN: the Green that folds might be absent as well!..LoL
5) IF: you are the opening act and you plan on doing all 10 of your numbers THEN: Think again!
6) IF: there are 5 horns and you can't hear the man next to you THEN: suck it up
7) IF: when You're leaving you see the promoter on his cell phone pacing THEN: Fill in the blank
