Oh god!! Mine doesn't hold a candle to Rick's!!

Village (pop. 650) SummerFest...@attendance--1,500. We are on a "low boy" flat bed trailer stage in full sun. Teperature is about 100 F......We have sound, a sound man, and an audience of 6--yes, six, people.

Our sound cannot compete with the "Chicken Race Calcutta" sound going on a block down the street. We had a stone face audience....(of six, mind you)and no matter what we did, they sat in their lawn chairs arms crossed over chests and stone faced.

I swear, the entire band could have done a total to the buff Strip Tease and not gotten any response at all.

Second worst was the Nursing Home the night Julia (Alzheimer's) decided she didn't want us in HER living room and whacked the fiddle/bow out of Dana's hands. I caught the bow, guitar player caught the fiddle, none of the rest of them even missed a beat.

Still not as good as Rick's.......
