Ain't it the truth.

We've now got a great regular gig (2 years+) where we go from Iggy Pop, to Charlie Parker, to Koko Taylor to Scofield to Sleepwalk and back to Iggy. We have fun, crowd digs it, and free seafood buffet for us Fridays. Often, folks want to hire us for a party, and they're shocked at the price, but we tell them the reason is that we have to cancel here, strike, set up, strike and set up. That's the work. And if it's Friday, we miss the buffet
