I think it is a great idea, Unlunf, especially at fairs
where surf bands are playing. The Pyronauts have done a
PHENOMINAL job of booking significant numbers of gigs at
various county fairs, town festivals, etc...
Hey, Paul:
If you're out there, maybe you could provide some input,
elaborating on the types of gigs you've landed, your
strategies for securing this gigs, etc.
