I thought it was going to be the regular band, who sent a sub?
The best line I heard was from a guy who had someone send a sub that didn't quite work out. He told the cat who sent " I asked you to send a sub, not a destroyer..."

Tony Bennett sat in and sang with us among lesser talents (cybil shepard). But the most incredible place I ever played was in the mess tent at ground zero for the workers who cleaned up the World Trade Center debris. |

I went on the "tour" through that thing, and 60 odd years later it still smells like diesel fuel and sailor B.O. ...just thinking about having to be in that thing when it was actually running gives me the heebie jeebies. |

I thought the same as you did:"Why would anyone want to be underwater in that thing?" Same with the coal mine exhibit!

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2004 Location: Chicago | | | In thinking about the whole music thing I got to thinking about how we get to play in places and see things that the general public don't get to see. Playing in front of a sub that is a piece of history (I think the only German U Boat captured) really got me thinking about how special an opportunity that was. What I was hoping was that others (like jason) would share some of the cool places they played. |
