Saturday night

Hi there!
Just checking in again with the latest on the band.
We did our second gig at Master Beach on Praia do Futuro on May 30th and it went well with more people in attendance. Unfortunately my camera went on the fritz and no fotos!
We were to play another club on the outskirts of the city on Saturday night but we lost or accordion player the day before, as did the other band that was to play the same date.
This is fairly typical but I wish we could figure out a way to stop the musicians from holding us hostage.
Anyway we journey on and Thieny is lining up more work even as a write this.
Our planned visit to Curitiba is still in the works as well but will take longer to pull together by our agent there.
Trudy and Stephen, my clients from Canada, as well as Michael from Delta Airlines and his replacement, Brian, who just arrived were all at Trudy and Stephen's apartment building last night for a BBQ.
Their place overlooks the ocean from a couple of blocks away and has a roof-top pool. It was all very nice.
Israel has been after me all day to go back to the pool!
The three fotos are of Michael...then Brian and Stephen and then Thieny, Liane, our guitar player, and Israel.
