Excuse me Scott, but a reply is necessary because what you accuse me  
of is exactly what you have just done.

The most recent OKOM Jazz  cruise is the one I cited. Returned just  
two weeks ago.  For your information, neither alcoholic drinks nor the  
cruise staff tips were included in the band board. Plain and simple  
fact that the musicians had to pay for them both. (After all, what is  
a Lobster dinner without a nicely chilled bottle of white wine to  
accompany it). So before you post about people "who ought to get their  
facts straight"  you might start with yourself.

And that IMO is nickel and diming musicians who are already being had.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
