Re: New place to gig on Thursday, but Sun/Tue. bar owner doesn't seem to like the ide

Hi billyo

The conflict was stated in an indirect way by the proprietor to Bryant.

Sort of "spreading things out too thin", and it would be only fair that if this being the case, that I should be paid a little bit less at his place (bar #1). Let's see how it all plays out, he says, and in the future we may have to have another conversation and talk about this.
What is going on here, and have you guys run into this sorta thing at all? What would you suggest I might say to him if we ever do have "that other conversation"?
Lets look at this in a different way and suppose Bryant doesn't get a deal with bar #1 and everything goes good at Bar #2 and his people go there to see Bryant which cuts into the profit of bar #1, what kind of eyes will see Bryant then?

Remember it's only one night.

And yes just like you I think Bryant should get compensation by Bar #1 and Bryant should give an opportunity to an offer.

Good Luck,
Joe....
