A little known treasure
|
This little gem turned out to be one of those rarities that myself and my late wife watched again and again.
Being a 'gigging' Blues & Jazz singer myself, it reminded me so much of the realities of life on the road. Those times were a hell of a lot of fun, but they were also fraught with anxiety and troubles.
Would the gig still be there when you arrived after travelling many miles - sometimes they weren't!
Would the accommodation be fine - sometimes it wasn't!
Would the money be there at the end of the night - sometimes it wasn't!
Many times my wife travelled with me and was a party to both the good times and the bad.
It is truly sad to note that so many of the cast are no longer with us!
As an aside, much of the dubbed trumpet soloing was actually Australian jazz artist, Bob Barnard as Warren VachA was sick with pneumonia during that particular period and unable to play the parts - a fact that Mr. VachA commented on during a 'gig' the pair played together at The Basement in Sydney in the late eighties and which was attened by poth myself and my wife. |
