What Are The Requirements For An Ambassadorship?

I recall showing up at a bar in Fountain Springs, California (look this place up on Google - the town is literally a bar) with a band i was playing with when I was 17.

They were all older than me, and the bouncer stopped me at the door, guitar in hand.

"We don't let kids in here."

One of my bandmates said, "He's in the band, Dudd..."

The bouncer asked me, "How old are you, kid?"

I felt somebody kick me in the back of the leg.

"Twenty One, Sir," I replied.

"Get in here and get set up then!"

True story!!!!

Thats awesome lol my first paying gig ever was a redneck as hell dive bar literally on the county lines of Fayette and Greenbrier. It was an old one room school house appropriately named " The Teachers Lounge". The oldest in the band was my brother the drummer who was only 18, one guitarist was 16, the singer and I were 15 and our bassist was a mere 13. They stamped a black X on our hands and let us play under the conditions we had at least 2 chaperones at least 21, stayed away from the bar and we could charge a $5 cover at the door but the bar got all the drink money.

My dad ran the sound board and a buddy of ours was in on leave from the Air Force ran the door. Both were of legal age. I think we made like $400. $50 went on the Uhaul, $50 to our buddy, and we split $300 5 ways.

But we almost got the LIVING :poo: beat out of us by 3 rednecks because we played " Night Moves" by Bob Seger and the singer screwed up the vocals like a dying cat. They were playing pool and the leader ( probably mid 30s) chucked a pool cue across the table and yelled " If you're gonna play Bob Seger, play it right or get the $!%@ off the stage!!" I immediately stopped playing and yelled " Cat Scratch Fever!!! One, Two. One two three!!" And we cut right into it and everyone chilled out lmao

High rolling juvenile delinquents!
