Subject: Re: Live 'Tron in Toronto Wed. night - NOT

From: "James Bailey" <jimab@...>

Hi folks,

A little late getting to this, but I'm sorry to report that the 'tron
was a no-show at the Ping last Wednesday. Although I didn't get to
talk to Byron myself (perhaps Mr. Dale could help, as he was there,
and I believe did) he is awaiting it's arrival from Sweden which is
taking longer than expected.

The show otherwise was ok, though a bit too quiet during the first
set, especially considering the large amount of hum in the p.a. system.

Sorry I didn't manage to talk to you much, Chris, but had some things
to discuss with the event organizers and a few others and was hoping
we could chat during the break. Can't blame you for leaving before
then, though, what with the p.a. problem and lack of 'tron. I really
think you should try to get a gig there as you suggested, with your
vintage 'boards. Wouldn't recommend the double Wakeman-o-tron unless
you've got an army of helpers to get it up those stairs.
