[Dixielandjazz] Re: Pizza Parlours

[Ivor Jones]

Thanks for allo your responcies with my especial thanks to R.R for the 
history lesson about Pizza Parlours, I found it very interesting. Shaky must 
have been some character. Regarding the 'home base', we found the same 
thing. We played in local hotel for two years for little money polishing our 
performance and basically rehearsing, although paying respect to the 
customers. Now we have almost too much work, with weekly residencies at 
three of the top hotels and resorts in the Algarve, the best known holiday 
resort in Portugal. They are all weekday gigs, leaving the weekends for 
concerts and special events, private parties all seem to come on Saturdays 
or Sundays as well..The trouble is that I was born in the year that Wall 
Street crashed, and I don't know I will stand up to all the playing and 
travelling.
