    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.
