I lead a gong-free lifestyle. I've neither the need nor the desire for one. Were I sordidly wealthy, I might use a gong to signal to my domestic staff that I require immediate assistance.
I like the way you think. I too have no wealth in the range of acquiring one, nor the space to house it.
Band dominance is the only reason I could see for bringing one to a gig. With that behind you, your comrades would have nothing less to do than bow in your presence. ?
Is that show on anywhere?Most of the contestants too.
