I didn't know working in the US was so hard for musicians! Glad I'm down here...

They eventually fed us, but NO WINE! In NAPA COUNTY California! In 1977 we played at the Mexican Embassy in Washington, D.C. The amount of food that was served & wasted was staggering. We saw the substantial remains of what looked like a two meter salmon get hauled back to the garbage area, and when all was over we were handed a few bucks to go out to a restaurant.

Been there, done that!A Which is why, when I got married, I paid the Toronto Consort to play my our wedding music AND invited them all to our reception afterward.A Of course, it helped that they were all old friends of mine.
