Allan, did a gig like that in a state hospital once, only i was an actor in 
a play. Pretty interesting experience. I'll tell you what though. For years 
i would of been hard pressed to even imagine i would EVER dread another 
airport or hotel. But, nowdays.........if i can drive to a gig, (fly fishing 
show/conclave) i WILL. And if i can stay at someone's house, THAT'LL WORK! 
Stayed at a Holiday Inn in Cortland, N.Y. this past weekend because of the 
Fall River TU chapter "Event." They changed their name to the Leon Chandler 
chapter and my wife and i attended the festivities. The bed in the hotel got 
me twice. Damm thing had a spring or something metal sticking out of one 
side, right at the top edge. Jeeze, and the hit's just keep right on 
commin.' LMAO, mark

How about naming your instrument and the kind of music you play?
Piano - Classical.  Pop.  Blues.  Dance band for 8 years.

Nice thing about playing piano in a band or combo.  You can't haul it 
around with you.  If there's one there, you play.  If there's not, you 
listen.    Alway felt sorry for our drummer.  He had to haul a LOT of junk 
with him.  Worst dance band experience was when we were playing at the 
Central State Hospital for the Insane (that was before politically correct 
names) and a couple of cockroaches crawled out of the piano.   I worried 
for several days that I had carried some home with me.

Used to play church organ.

Prior to that, drums, tuba, trombone.
(Actually WAY prior to that - 50 years ago!!)
