Hi Barrie,
          Where in the U.K. can you find a decent cup of coffee? Beer and
Bacon a different story.
   Some things are the same the world over, Prep one concert grand for a
concert and late Sat. afternoon a frantic phone call that the artist thinks
the other suits his needs and programme better. Never failed, untill I
installed keyboard clamps, now they just wonder what they are missing.
However getting paid a standby fee for a concert that you were going to
hear anyway, is OK in my book.
Regards Roger.
