Those are such special stories that we remember to this moment. We were down south of Oaxaca on our way to Guatemala. The locals let us park the coach off the town square, there were no 'parks'. They were having a celebration over the holidays and we were befriended by some musicians, who had a marching band that played through town to wake up everyone before the fireworks started. I had not spoken Spanish since my high school days, but I was told that their drummer was ill and could not play. "Ah, I might stand-in", said I. We marched through the town: horns, guitars, singing. Drank waay too much with them,afterwards, but, it was right on top of one of the best gigs I ever played! Shot what became a album cover pic down by Tikal:
