Well, the Blue Moon was special. And I've never had, like, a show structured like this. Andy, who was the owner and the manager... Believed in us and wanted the bar to not have a cover charge ever. So he gave us a chunk of $500, which we could use as we saw fit. There were three of us, usually four of us, but sometimes three of us.

They'd get drunk on four locos and we could do whatever we wanted. I've never had a show like this ever since where it was structured like that. And I'm so grateful for that because it was such freedom creatively.
