Ross said:Fungus - 20 in an hour, wow! That's 3 minutes each, including introduction, applause etc.
You are efficient
In a half-hour show a few weks ago I managed to squeeze in 8. In practice I had timed them at 32-33 minutes, and assumed that I'd play more quickly on stage, due to nervousness. However, I must have chattered between songs more than I'd planned, because the host, who runs a tight ship, was pointedly staring at her watch during my last tune

Right on, that's the goal, don't give 'em enough time to give me the hook especially on any one song. I'm a little concerned about a very nice murder ballad/duet I wrote because I'm thinking that one may approach 4 minutes. Might have to play the punk rock version to get out of some places alive! Funny thing is the girl that will sing the "she" part is a bar owner in E. Tulsa, and I just learned they host bands. Hmmm... if I ever get to Tulsa....
Graham said:Not sure if this has been asked before Fungus, but do you have any recordings of your stuff kicking around?
I'd love to hear some.
JerryR said:You mean you sing '24 hours to Tulsa' and they want to murder you :shock:
Graham said:I like that and True Love Will Find. Nice stuff. Is there progress on the CD?
Thanks

Show em how it's done Jer.
Have a blast mate. :mrgreen:
Very glad you made it! Hope you saw the videos of your performance. They're linked from a post titled Guild Sighting: D-30 in the Miscellaneous forum.ce blues said:hello all,
and especially a shout out to Mr. Guildmark for alerting me to this forum. My trio (as an introduction to the crowd and promotion for our upcoming performance dates) played Guildmark's open mic last tuesday nite. after our set Mark and I talked guilds (he admired my maple D30; and collared me as I left the stage) and he informed me of this group's existence.
I've been playing Guild guitars since acquiring my first good guitar in 1964 (a brand new T 100 D thin archtop with DeArrmond pups--my first was a really shitty Airline in 1959). I acquired an S100 Polara in 1969 or 70, my sweet D25 (I use it for my acoustic slide guitar) in around 1972 and my main acoustic axe (D30 maple back) sometime in the early 1990s. I have a lot of other guitars (including ones that also have a name beginning with "G" and even a few solidbody "F" guitars) and amps, but that is the extent of my guild collection..... I have huge GAS for a big-box Duane Eddy archtop but so far, no love.
glad I found you folks,
