Long Island Sound

So I had a gig out on Long Island last week, it was at a nice, unassuming, outdoor amphitheater. It had a backstage area and changing rooms. Right behind the stage there was a waiting area where past performers had their pictures hanging on the wall. Performers such as:














That's right: Shania's Twin. A tribute to Shania Twain.

But I didn't get really excited until I realized I was about to be on the same stage that had been occupied by:














Sync In. An N Sync tribute band. God, I wish the photo hadn't come out blurry.
But then I saw this:














And realized....ok, so this stage hasn't been performed on exclusively by cheesy tribute bands. That's Richie Havens and Celia Cruz. Just in time, I felt better about heading out onto the stage.
