I sat at home one night a few years ago staring at the box.
Unbeknownst to me, three blocks away, Richard Thompson was starting up his set.

Now, I'm not an avid follower of Richard's website, neither am I on his mailing list, but I've always wanted to see him live.
The venue that put him on never even put up a poster.

Now, when I think of all the ex-pat community over in Oslo; the Irish, English, Scottish, and Welsh, I could nearly have guaranteed a full house if it was me that was putting the gig on.

I brought Sharon Shannon and her 4 piece to Norway for the first time, a few years ago, and people came from Sweden and Denmark for the gig.
PLUS: We didn't charge a penny at the door.

It's called 'providing a service', Snail.
Some do it, some don't.
