money ain't worth the money



This is from my good friend Tim Hain- worth reading, even if you're NOT a musician...

J.R.


Dear Wandering Minstrels,

From today, PLEASE check your £20 notes when collecting wages from publicans/bandleaders at the end of gigs! 

From now on any £20 note with a picture of ELGAR on the back is NOT legal tender, so don't be caught short...times is tight enough as it is, and I don't know about you, but I had 4 gigs cancelled due to the WC football...tho' I jumped for joy when England lost, because, sure enough, one of my cancelled gigs was reinstated as a result!

Intresting, isn't it, that the cancellation of these £20 was headline news...NOT!!

As The Buddha said,(and also Lisa Simpson as I recall) "The price of peace is constant vigilance." Or, as my former drummer Leroy once said "Slip an' you're dead, Rasta!"

Peace,
Tim
