""Also, when this nonsense starts, we immediately STOP playing. Unfortunately, music seems to add fuel to the alcohol fire and dead silence seems to quiet things down. We also threaten to walk off stage if the nonsense doesn't stop.""

Now what does that say about today's music!. Think about when the Titanic went down and the band carried on playing until the bitter end. In my young day, (NOT on the Titanic I hasten to add) we were expected to carry on playing through the mayhem to help to CALM the situation, not inflame it.

I seem to remember some old poet or other wrote something about music having charm to soothe the savage beast ( or breast if you prefer it).

I am a bit worried that we haven't yet heard from Slower after his gig though!!!

Fingers crossed
