Bruce Daigrepont: We had been playing there for years. One day we got a call that we were let go- we didn’t get to play there anymore. Turns out Steve Riley and the Basin Brothers got the same call that day. They told us that we drew too many locals on our nights there. Locals didn’t drink or eat enough to make them money, so they wanted a no-name type band that didn’t draw a consistent crowd. They wanted that tourist crowd to turn over quick- come in and get out. Locals stayed all night to dance.
