A Gig, Cancer, and The Promoter - A True Story

A friend at a recording studio told me this story today about his brother and a promoter quick on his feet with a sense of humor.

The brother had been touring with a country western band for a long time, got off the road, and eventually ran into his band's promoter.

"So, how was it in Colby, Kansas?"

"I got cancer there."

Long pause.

"Well, I'll never book you in that town again!"
