I'm doing the local am dram panto - not even sure what the show is, could be jack and the beanstalk this year, but guess I'll find out at the band call. 17 shows in all and I think there are 3 double headers this time... still, funds a few new sets of strings and covers my car insurance

Did some shows a few years ago, thorouhly enjoyed it but then moved away, so not done it since. I kinda miss it, was fun.

...just got in from today's shows - there's the `swamp scene' where the tree Troll comes out - scares the kiddies sh%tless - course today one of the crew members decides to go for it with the bloody smoke machine and we get completely fogged out - I'm like `wheres my bass gone'! B*stard!

Hah ha, yes, I get this every time the flying carpet comes out! Not seeing the bass is bad but managable, the best was when the tech decided to kill all the lights for the Villain coming onstage, keyboard player couldn;t see a thing.I think it was the closest to free jazz that panto gets!
