I played one set in a Biker Bar when I was about 19, called "The Brass Rail"
(every one I knew caled it the "Brass Knuckle") when the "gang" showed up,
one of the guys asked if he and his friends could play our instruments. Our
singer said something to the effect of "No, we came too far and are getting
paid too little to put up with this". After that, it was kind of a blur,
and all I can remember was the club owner walking up to the band...right
then, paying us for the night, and telling us to leave...immediatly....please.
No kidding.
Rod.........who is still alive.
ahh....the memories

well that sure helps explain the other day when a band here was
getting frantic over a "missing" member and were ready to dial 911
when it was suggested to them that maybe they should check the amp
room first and see if the guy sitting on the floor playing guitar with
the headphones on was him... these are also the same guys that when
one puts a drink down on the floor it's almost a race to see who will
be first to walk by and kick it over.

Wow, got here just in time for the Cease-fire in a civil war I didn't even
know was going on. Soldiers, young and old, armed with machine guns,
randomly pulling over taxis, cars, pedestrains; searches, questions, jaded
looks... warnings from hotel staff not to go out of the hotel after sunset.
But hey, the food is cheap and good. Get this, top-shelf booze for about a
third the average US price. Better yet... the math is simple for currency
conversion. 100r = $1. Gave up a week ago trying to do the time zone math.
And ooooooooohhhh the HUMIDITY over here.
Having fun... back to Seattle on Monday via Seoul & Hong Kong.... 26 hours
of flying time. I'm thinkin' it'd be easier just to go straight up, go
geo-stationary and wait for Seattle to come by and then just drop straight
back down. Anybody with me on that one?
Hand-squeezed Tequila Sour in hand.... $1.40 w/tax.... keeps the humidity
at arms length.
W out
