Subject: RE: Road Musicians, just paying their dues!
Harvey, if you'd been playing the "Folk Rooms" on this side of the pond.....well what with your good looks and articulate manner (not to mention the songs) you'd have been propositioned EVERY night!

Hey Glen Reid, tell them about playing in Toronto.....and then waking up IN ATLANTA!!! I believe you said you weren't sure how you got there...but you had company when you woke up.

GREATEST COMPLIMENT I EVER RECEIVED:

A waitress asked me after the first set: "How long are you playing here"? "Two weeks" I said. "MY god" she moaned, "I've gotta listen to YOU for two weeks"??!!

Ahhhhh, makes it all worth while.

Oh, and another one. A customer KEPT asking me to play a James Taylor song. Finally I did. He came up to the stage and said "You're no James Taylor"!

Cheers

Rick
