Recently I had the non-pleasure to stay at several Holiday Inns, and their advertising is correct, 'no surprises'. I did once see an absolutely amazing guitarist playing in one of their lounges. Sadly I can't remember his name or even where the Holiday Inn was -it may have been Detroit. It certainly got me to thinking that maybe an awful lot of wonderful musicians languish their lives away in this kind of (well payed, I guess) obscurity. I'm not kidding about this guy. He was about thirty, played bluegrass, folk, classical etc. all backed up by a recorded bass track.

Anyone else see any gems in the hotel chains?
