Now chilluns, let uncle Rick who's been around the block many times, tell you about some other FREE food.

"COMMIE" Food (remember I am one of those 'Soviet Canuckistan, Castro Luvin', Dubya dissin' Toque wearin', hosers)

I used to get invited to sing for the "Socialist Action" folks. They're Trotskyites (I'm not sure what that means...perhaps all their members go to Mexico and kill themselves)

By the way...I know I'm joshin', but these are good people....they're all lookin' for a better world, just like you and I are.

Their typical buffet included: CHEEZITS, POTATO CHIPS, BUDGET DIET COLA and once a year, ice cold Indian food (because they wouldn't spring for a damn hot-plate!

***************************************************************

"YACHT CLUB FOOD" Not bad actually. These folks have money....but they're CHEAP! Lotsa sandwiches, pickles, grapes, olives, cheese, and OK desserts. The problem is they simply NEVER wanna listen to music, 'cuz they rarely all get together, so they just talk......loudly. Much beer, but I rarely drink.....so I take a bunch home!

******************************************************************

"ETHNIC WEDDINGS" (Italian, Jewish, Polish) Yah man! Now I don't get hired as a "solo" for these things but I used to be called up for bands 'cause I could fake a lotta styles if neccessary.

Amazing food....BUT....since I wasn't the leader, I had to put up with some bloody band leaders who wouldn't avail themselves (and us) of the wonderful food! I've asked many times about "food and the band" and never ever was turned down, but some band leaders thought it was unprofessional.

HEY! The only reason I ever DID commercial work was for the food!

Cheers

Rick
