What's the biggest audience you ever performed to? What's the smallest?
A few thousand to a bartender!Most memorable goes to the nudist colony I played with a band in L.A........I worked w/this guy a lot.He would just send me the dates and locations.This time he thought it would be funny to not tell the musicians on the gig that it was at a nudist colonly.I was first greeted at the entrance by an all nude,very welcoming lady.....They danced all night!!It was interesting!!We kept our clothes on!!!

You're stuck on a desert island and only get to bring one album with you. What do you pick?
The Koln Concert by:Keith Jarrett,because I think it's one of the best examples of"Human Spirit" on a record....First heard it 1988,when a friend turned me on to it...
