We were  told by our driver (who we found a bit difficult) at Sacramento 
that we  should not play "Shine."  In the end, we did play it because it 
is a  big scat feature for Christian.  Either the audience didn't really  
care about the racist overtones of the tune or they didn't understand  
Christian's English.

Again, as I said before (that time about a musician in the band) ----- HOW  
DARE your driver try to dictate what you should play.  I think he and I  would 
have had words at that point..........................
