I performed in a duo a few winters ago in freezing
outdoor conditions for over 2 hours - not the 5 mins
that they did. We simply had an outdoor heater and
"Got on with it." The tuning problems were no worse than
a typical sweaty club. They should try keeping in tune
in a hot cafe seated next to a door which constantly blows
cold air in. If I put on a CD of "Something I prepared
earlier" - I simply wouldn`t get paid.
