[Dixielandjazz] Problem at wedding gig, continued.

[Larry Walton Entertainment - St. Louis]

The worst job musically I ever played resulted in three bookings.   The 
piano at that one was almost completely out of tune and had most of the 
hammers broken in the center octave.  Go figure.  Sometimes the audience 
hears things differently than we do.
