Your editing is simple, yet VERY clean and satisfying. Great content overall and love the musical hijinks

I'm definitely interested in watching shenanigans like this while you do your gigs. Brings a relatable element to seeing musicians being human and having fun doing their jobs

Yes more vlogs like this!! I was in a wedding band for 10 + years (tenor and baritone sax) and it's always interesting to see how other bands, band members, etc. experience gigs.

These longer style vlog videos are what we NEED!

the guy having his mind blown by Erie was so funny and endearing as someone who grew up in NE OH and spent much of my childhood around the Erie coast. People who aren't from the area never understand how BIG the great lakes are till they see them!

Alex was very funny. Living on the West coast 😎 a few miles away, it awesome to see that first time experience. Gotta dig the night time picture with the flash on😊super class.

One time at a wedding I asked the elder sax player, amazing musician, what his influences were... Lester Young, Coleman Hawkins .. he looked at me surprised and said "I just like the horn" and left me without one more word. So I could not find out about his musical preferences but I learned that he dislikes talking to guests of a wedding. And I wasn't drunk since I do not drink alcohol. But to make it clear, what was exciting for me was just a gig for him. Sometimes when I am grumpy and people ask me why I have become an art dealer I say "The chicks, it is all about the women". 😂 Thank you for your videos. LOVE them. All best from Germany.

Oof, assuming they weren’t in the middle of playing that’s a rough answer. I know some elder musicians that have become jaded because of playing so many wedding gigs…but I also know some that are still excited to play and will always happily talk to people about what they do. Sorry you didn’t have a good experience with that person!!

If you have time when you're filming, asking your band-mates how they got started in music, what's something they realized was a skill they needed on the gig circuit, or what some unexpected perks are of that lifestyle, all that would be really cool.

Definitely interesting, especially as a teenager trying to figure out what it’s like to be a professional musician and trying to decide whether or not it’s something to pursue
