Do you play on ships and travel about doing civilian gigs in the band service?

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

X-Files? This is madness!
I take it you can't be drunk when you're performing :(

If you want info on being drunk on a gig talk to early dog ends

not that we were ever drunk

,ie in the good old days of Pete (RIP

) Sumner two gigs in a week at Kiel Woche, especially during the Osterhalle Concert, German Naval Band, crates

by the dozen

passed around to all, refused of course?????

. But of course after those day's it all went wrong

we had to do more along another DoM who has passed away, and a tenacious D/M, followed of course by another DoM

whom I will not mention by name but we were all great survivors.As another dog end from this era say's. Dog Ends Rule

I'm sure you're right Stu, I'm sure he's got stuff on me as I reckon we've served together in 2, possibly 3 bands. I may even have written a 365a for him, if he was ever a candidate.
