Yeah it was indeed Free Publicity, good thing the old clarinet player is 
savvy enough to stand next to the kid getting the free publicity,  :))

He must however have been lewdly looking at the reporter covering the gig or 
she would not have put that text insert over his face, or maybe he didn't give 
her any Mardi Gras beads,  ha ha ha ha ROTFLOL.  :))

Now folks all over the East coast will be walking around asking "WHO is that 
guy on the stage with Jonathan?"   Must be important for that kid to let him 
play in his band.  ha ha ha

Works every time, so it should be cheap to hire the kid for any festival just 
pay him out of the advertising budget.

Of course you can no doubt purchase a copy of the photo with the text 
removed.

It is however cheaper to bring your own photographer and get the whole band 
in the shots.

Cheers,
