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..........................
