Gig from Hell!:
Belle Glade, FL. We had to drive 1 hour to the gig. We had left PA system back in WPB and our Mgr drove back to get it. By the time we started we were 2 hours late and the local populace wasn't happy with our look (long haired Keyboards player) or our tardiness. After the gig while we loading up, the local guys were giving all of the band members a hard time and when we were ready to drive away, one guy reached into our Keyboard Player's window and tried to "rough him up".

Last Gig:
Boca Civic Center as opening act for "Proctor Amusement Company".
