[Dixielandjazz] Public Liability

[Flip Oakes]

Here in San Diego, there are some places, or venues who even require that
every member has to have medical insurance..... I can't see how that's even
legal, however it has happened to me personally twice now. That means you
have to have medical insurance to play a 3 hr. gig once a year. Well simply
put I can't get it because of health issues, so that now means that they can
stop me from working, and they won't accept a signed waiver. Things are
really starting to stink....
