jwbassman Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!
