The show was a big hit, despite many mistakes, especially in the second act. At one point, the singers skipped about sixteen measures of the song. Amazingly, the whole band found where they were and continued on!Audience members were dancing in the aisles.
When the singers were introducing the band, they called me "Tom Stivers." (At the time, I didn't even notice, because the sound was so garbled.) Soon after, I received a note on my keyboard that said, "After the show, the first beer is on me. Chris."
As I said, I didn't even know he had said my name wrong. I thought he was apologizing for some other screw-up that I had saved him from.
After the show, a promoter was very interested in booking the show for some other event.
