The Hayes Brothers

Burly Hayes, owner of Somewhere Else Tavern, and his brother Steve produced an outdoor concert on a farm. I remember that Bill Kennedy talked me into doing it for next to nothing (I'm not exactly sure what he had to do with the Hayse brothers) but I had insisted that we get get extra money if it rained. It's bad enough doing a show for next to free in the middle of the sweltering southern heat, but add rain and it can be down right torture, hence the hazard pay. It rained and we didn't get the extra pay, but at least it was hot and the only toilet that was in a small cabin behind the stage plugged up really early in the day. On retrospect, looking at that strange pile of speakers, I guess that we were lucky to get any money at all. We all had to start somewhere and we started Somewhere Else. Thanks Burly.
