I enquired in two. One had a lone sax player honking once a week to his recorded (in the box) backing band. The other, a high end restaurant in the center of the theater area of London, featured once a week pianist with a singer, or a guitarist with a singer. Economics are taking its toll on everyone!<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">When I first arrived in Spain in the late 1960’s, I played in a 6 piece house band 7 nights a week (from midnite to 4am), 11 months a year! And, that house band, including myself, were busy in the recording studios every day, often from 9am until 9pm, backing all types of recordings from Flamenco to Rock to Jazz, to semiclassical! Different times…….<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Jim<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><u></u> <u></u></span></p></div></div>_______________________________________________<br>
