These include VIP dinner, cocktails, the works, and I'm gutted to say the least ! I was just wondering who's got the gig on bass? Perhaps she can use her feminine charms to get me some free stuff

I have no idea, but it used to be Darryl Jones. Mr Jones was killing time on a gig in Chicago and went to a local guitar emporium. He picked up a bass and started playing. The sales guy came up to him and started giving him all the chat, showing him all his best sales licks etc. and eventually asked if he played in any bands. Mr Jones told him what his gig was. Sales guy went very quiet and moved away.
