If you want it it's out there. You have to go get it because it usually doesn't come looking. Talk to folks that have the gigs you want and offer to shadow them and learn from them. That can turn in to you getting a call to fill in for said person and the doors are open.!!!

@@BobbyLandgraf cool. Thanks Bobby

@@BobbyLandgraf last year I helped a band for a few shows. Soulfly and cavaliera bros. That's how I met Mike DeLeon. Through soulfly crew. I already had met them. Here in KC. In 2017. I talked to a few of my friends. From static x and sevendust crew. Last year..I'll be going on the Lamb of God cruise. I hope to see stage stuff.

- Learn as much as you can on your own, from home (watch vlogs, read books, forum posts, listen to podcasts, etc), at shows (as an audience member or when you're working there), etc - Be nice and stay professional (don't fanboy too much, stay in your place) - Ask questions, put the word out there, while being honest about where you're at (your message above is exactly that) and offer to help (small responsabilities for bigger stuff, bigger responsabilities for small stuff (like small local bands, small local venues) - Be willing to take many different type of gigs (tour and/or local venue or fest or production company, purely non technical or technical, driver, tour manager, guitar/drum tech, stagehand, carpenter, etc), as long as you feel like you're up to it and your employer knows your skills level and is ok with it. You will learn from all of them, get to meet people, network, and this is how you'll get better and get more opportunities, and then get even better and get more opportunities. - Be patient, it can take time You're 43 but if you're passionate and have the right mindset and work hard you'll get there. Speaking from a 39 y.o who took the plunge 8 years ago and never looked back, and still learning and getting better and not where i wanna be (yet) but getting there slowly but surely.

@@djabthrash thanks for the advice. I'm welling to learn stuff. When I started I was a fanboy. Some what. But as I got more into it. Helping bands. I just was like the bands are regular people. A few of my friends are in bands and work as techs. Tour mangers etc. Working shows has open doors. For me at shows. I was actually reached out from a friend. He had a gig. For merch person. I had to turn it down. They wanted an experience person. I didn't have any experience at it. I have offered bands help. Nothing yet. But I did ask a few of my friends. About what to do. They told me same thing you mentioned. Ask questions watch them. Witch I have been doing. I've been going out of town. To see if I can help. I've gotten lucky to help my idols. Last year I got contacted with a vocalist and now some what friend. He tried helping with some advice. Big thanks for every one on here reaching out. Safe travels. Hopefully I'll see you at a show

I'm unsure if you mean RM but it's a bit shitty if it's him as he started his career as a bartender and you'd think he would be a little nicer to others.

@@brodeo449 I can’t say who it is. As it’s not my business but I’ve been following Abel for years. He’s posted bout but it’s been years. He’s worked with two class acts in ten years.

Hello from Bobby!!!

@@BobbyLandgraf ❤ Hiiii 👋🏽

In assume he's in the DFW area still. He's not out with us.

It's a tough biz. It's hard to keep love for the game when you're getting harassed. Any type will bring you down. Guess our love for the game persevered............

Don't make a rule of one bad context you've met. I do many different types of gigs and work with many different teams and sometimes it's miserable, sometimes it's awesome, and it can vary depending on people, context, etc.
