Thread Name: Any train fans
Subject: RE: Any train fans
I saw them around twelve years ago at the Florida Springfest, a now defunct multi-stage festival held in downtown Pensacola. The folks who ran the festival decided to try having an arts and crafts fair as well as the music, so we were there attempting to sell pottery. The less said about that, the better. One of the main outdoor stages was right across from the crafts area, and Train was one of the acts who played there. Not exactly my cup of tea, but better than anyone else who played that stage that weekend. Ironically, the stage was set up near a railroad track and a freight train, whistle and all, came by right in the middle of Train's opening number. As loud as the band was, the train whistle was louder. So, they stopped mid-song, watched the train roll by, and started over.
