Well, folks:

If ya want to book way in advance, as they call it in the Pre Need business.

Saint Gabriel's Celestial Brass Band does do Funerals, albeit very few for 
musicians because many of them do not make enough money to afford a ten to 
thirteen piece authentic Second line band for the events.  Especially if they come 
from way out of town or out of the country even.  Transportation and expenses 
do not come cheap as you all know.

So we have to hang around the Wealthy Crowd, Politicians, Presidents, CEO's, 
or heavy Trust Fund kids with large inheritances to throw around, etc., to get 
a call for a good paying Going Home Celebration.  They can afford it.

Cheers,

Tom Wiggins
