Meanwhile, Leon Redbone is saying "Who? I've never heard of Pat Vegas and Denny Freeman"...
>>Leon Redbone
I saw the REAL Leon Redbone at a theater in Stoneham, MA,
and he gave a show that was less than an hour. No opening
act. $28...He wished us well from the stage and the lights went up, and people went into the lobby for what they thought was the intermission. Suddenly the theater manager came in,
as we were buying beer and such, and said, "Er, just to let everyone know, that WAS the entire show..." The theater owners were under the impression that Leon was either doing one long set or two shorter ones...
Someone ran backstage and told the band there were some
unhappy customers. They got back on stage and started to
play and then after a few minutes Leon grudgingly came back
(I get the feeling he just didn't feel like doing too long of a show) and did a couple numbers. Yeesh.
