In '74 our drummer, Stan Lynch, OWNED a Pinto. All 4 of us piled into it for a 350 mile each way trip to Miami to get the money we had been stiffed for this gig. Otherwise the burgers would have been our entire pay...We got it.
Our regular gig was 4 sets Thu Fr Sat at the local topless bar, Trader Tom's. It paid $200 a week for the entire band so $125 was big money for 2 sets.
