Re: Smashed Bass or... JAE/Toronto 3/17/96



Mike, re:

>You didn't mention the impromptu r&b number Steve sang: "Dead Red Bass". It
was short but sweet. 

Actually, I had no idea what it was they were playing! 

>Who got the three pieces?  Did they get glued together again?

I was told that it was "hopelessly broken", although one never knows. I was
going to ask for the "head of the buzzard", until Steve told me that "...it
was probably worth more broken..."

>> John seemed to be really pissed-off for the first 3-4 songs due to the
aformentioned lighting and sound issues.  His humour was evident in many of
the little comments he made.

I thought the comment about he's "...not Stevie Wonder" was very funny!

>>I noticed that the guys from "Joni's Butterfly" did a lot of the
"technical support" for the show, moving guitars, checking settings on
the equipment.  Is that part of the deal, or are they just keeners?

"Keeners"??? Never heard that one before. But, yet, opening act & roadies is
the deal... They happen to be really nice guys. Adam (the lead singer) had
really long hair at the start of the tour. 

Nice to meet you and your wife...
