!Chacho! I did a gig this year for the Food Network when they filmed out here at the "Phoenician Resort"!
Man, there was food everywhere, but none to be had by any of us (working folks).
I had to argue with the agent to get us some bottled water, and this is with 100 degree temperatures out here. Some lady in attendance fell out of her chair, I can't imagine how that happened, and injured her shoulder. The show kept right on filming though!
This was the second "Food Network" gig I've had, the first one was at the "Radisson Resort" several years ago, at least there we got a chance to scarf down some groceries!
Many blessings!
Onile!

Yeah, Cyro told me that he would walk from the village in NY to about 70th, practicing his pandeiro. Yes the man is very well versed in the Brasilian percussion, thought me some tricks here and there.
