I have decided and I am sure Aitch would agree. I want you to approach SH. (I really just want her guitar, but don't tell any one)

Ohh. SH. Well, after all i've done for you, you chose SH, not SC. Oh well, okay. At least, she can sing. You'll get the guitar. Sooner or later. Methinks.

Gary, Tony, Mitch: thanks a ton. Mich, you might not know, but... after almost 3 years on this forum, i think i almost hate this song!

Nevermind.
Tony: not sure about "star", but i definitely am kinda unique. No other people living in ex-USSR at the forum so far.

Thanks, guys.

Sheena,

The first rule of show business is let the manager do what a manager does best, but don't let them join the band.

The second rule is focus on rule number one until we can find a techie that will make my amp louder than the singer (that the manager found) can sing through a 1000W PA cranked to the nuts.

The third rule is that the bass player must play a Rickenbacker and must be the best friend of the lead player.

The fourth rule is that the drummer is not allowed to mic his drums through the PA unless he simply wants to help the band drown out the singer.

Shall I continue?

Err. No, thanks. I get it, i get it. In fact, i knew it from the start - that's why you decided i was going to be the manager!

And another rule from that list: don't ever let the manager become a friend of yours and don't ever let a friend of yours become your manager. Damned rules of show business.
Well, at least you won't have troubles with bass and lead player. Right? Right.
Oh yeah, David Knopfler wrote a great book about life in show business, and i read it from time to time. Great reading!..

Thanks, Alisha!

Brian's rules don't work if the sound man is one of the band's singers!
Then everyone need MUCH bigger amps to drown out the singer (or short the fuse on the PA amps!).

Rule number five. A sound man is a sound man, is a sound man, even if he does know how to sing.

There I have fixed that glitch Kevin. This is starting to sound like the script to a new Spinal Tap movie.
