Black tie & towel? I didn't know it was a cover band. Had I known that I would have taken the gig.

Art - you missed a good gig - I have done it several times and it was  
great fun. Not only did we get well paid and fed - we got to use all  
of the facilities including several wonderful pools and hot tubs.

The uniform is actually Black Bow Tie ( optional Towel and shoes) - as  
long as the weather was nice it was not a problem at all. The same  
band did a fundraiser at a Sacramento area resort (after the big  
earthquake wrecked the Lupine Lodge) and it got decidedly chilly!

The roster of musicians changed over the years but many dozens of us  
have taken the challenge! Dave Cotter was the band leader and there  
have not been any B Naturals performances I know of since his passing.
