[Trombone-l] Why no bands?

[dslide13 at aol.com]

I did the same gig.  We were only contracted as her opening act and she 
demanded that we be part of the show at the dress rehearsal.  That 
resulted in a nice raise, and we only had to play her on and off.  She 
was a very nice lady.  I remember her inviting us to enjoy the catering 
in her dressing room.

   I played the Joan Rivers show a couple of times and she uses a band 
in her live act. The band is on stage, and is essentially a prop. We 
played her on and played her off, and were the butt of a few jokes. 
Other than that we just sat there on stage and watched her show...and 
collected a nice check. I think it was her musician subsidy program.
