Hahah Nice!

Weather is an issue for sure. But just this past weekend I did shows in a drizzle, in the wind and in the early morning dark. I still made lots of money.

It can be done! Smile

Why do you think people would stop in the rain and watch a show? Is it because they are already wet and do not care if they get any wetter? It is one thing if it is just a very light rain but in that picture it looks to be a steady rain. I can not figure it out.

I was there on that dreary day when the heavens opened up. We had (Paul, Me, Kenny,and Andy) had been trying to get shows out before the predicted rain came...and when it did...soaking.
When it brightened up a bit Paul went out to bang one out.He had just got an edge when it all started again with the rain. We all just stared opened mouth, slack jawed, that he was holding them and getting a good response. Us slackers were under the archway and keeping dry...Its an awsome picture, was an awesome feat, and big kudos to Paul for braving the rain, to Kenny for taking it and Nick for posting it...

Okay, I'm embarrassed to have to ask this but: Paul who?

Maybe they're trying to get a tan by standing in the English rain! Smile

This guy (Paul) is a real trooper. He gives a whole new meaning to the adage “the show must go on”.

I would like very much to have a printable copy of this photo.
Does anybody know how I can contact Kenneth Lightfoot?

Thanks!

Also... I'd love to have a printable copy of the photo with Dai Vernon holding the deck of cards in one hane, knee crossed, and the cig in the other hand.

I would like very much to have these for my basement bar.

Thanks!
