Err..... Yeah ..... This happens alot when Gil is supposed to play .

I live in Cambridge so was looking forward to the gig, but had a sneaky
suspicion this might happen . The last time he came to Cambridge, his
drummer turned up WITHOUT a drum kit and was barely conscious .
Fortunately my friend lent him his . I also went to see him at the Jazz
Cafe and waited something like three hours for him to hit the stage .
This time the drums were there , but the drummer had got on the wrong
flight from Washington and no-one knew where he was !!

BUT , whatever the risk GO AND SEE HIM before it's too late .

PEACE
