All's Well That Ends Well

I've talked about my daughter LauraLea and her band of talented musicians, "Tripp Fabulous," here before. This is not a garage band. It's their living. They play all the "A" venues. They travel from Vermont to the FL Keys and range as far west as Ohio. She's been doing it for almost thirty years, and they are still rocking. Although she has some amazing original music, which she does at her solo gigs, they are a cover band but are always in demand. This past week they were scheduled to play in Ohio at Put-In-Bay, a resort island on Lake Erie. They were booked for Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. After driving ten hours and taking the ferry to the island, they were loading their equipment into the club when the manager approached and asked, "What are you doing here?" Joke, right? NO! The band's management company never confirmed the booking!
WHAT?! YOU HAD ONE JOB! Laura contacted them immediately and they fessed up. They dropped the ball. Well, what are you going to do about this major SNAFU? Fortunately, her management company stepped up. They put the whole band and the sound guy/roadie up at the resort's hotel for all three nights, bought their meals, paid them in full for two missed shows and got them a gig at another club on the island for Saturday night. So, the band got a two-day paid respite and got to perform last night. Band life, sheesh!

Check them out.
