Sounds neat! Hopefully you'll have time to take a quick, cheap turboprop ride over to Tobago, which is a lot nicer than Trinidad for some snorkeliing, taking a glass-bottom boat tour (ask for Brother Mitch) and some time at the beach.
Be mindful of your surroundings though as crimes against tourists has increased there in recent years. I was there back in 2002 for a conference about a week after an American was murdered there during Carnival. Apparently, he had been robbed by a pick-pocket thief and went after the guy to get his wallet back.

Next time you gig in such a place, could you give us a couple of years' notice?
But flippin' heck. Nice work if you can get it. Enjoy it, sir!

That's a grim situation conroy, and a tragic incident. But in defense of holiday destinations everywhere, got to say this.
I once asked a guy who had been guiding me around a town in Tanzania, 'How safe is it at night, if I am out on my own.' His reply 'You are from London. Behave like this is London - keep to well lit streets, and if you are mugged, they just want your money, so hand it over.' I wasn't ever mugged, but he had a good point. Same thing everywhere. I wasn't mugged in Zanzibar - has happened twice in London.

thanks for the warning Conroy-
the thing is with these trips though is that there isn't enough time to go out and put oneself in danger- we fly in, rest, gig, and then leave so to make it back to L.A. in time for Sunday dinner.
I'll be lucky if I can just go and get in the water for a few minutes.
See you all April 18th!!

Great idea, Ska! I'd love to hear some Police covers on steel drums. Hmm.....
Have a great gig, Mike!
Any other exotic locales planned in the future?

I don't wanna work, I just wanna bang on the drums all day.
