It was a chilly 50F/10C night, on April Fools Day in Los Angeles! We were playing outdoors, without space heaters!
ARKADY is wearing several layers of clothes to keep warm at all costs -- not the best way to be seen on camera, which adds 10lbs:)!! Although, it could be a good look for a late night TV Weight Loss Infomercial Program, the "Before" photo...:):):)!!!
THE SHOW MUST GO ON!!! -- Ice Cold horn and fingers, and the band freezing on the stage -- "perfect":) for playing a soulful ballad:)!... Unless one is performing at a Polar Bears Awards Dinner?!, or on the David Letterman Show:):):)?! And I am not kidding about Letterman. The musicians colleagues who have done it before, they know to wear long coats. I remember a few guys wearing long black coats in addition to, or instead of a jacket! And I got photos to prove it!

When Dave was pointing at Arkady, he could have been talking about Arkady as a baby,
 |
 |
or about cold temperatures effects... 
?!
But let's keep it clean... !!!
So, no matter what, as they say, THE SHOW MUST GO ON! Hey, that's Show Biz for you...
And, here are a some other coincidences that come to mind:

And there more, but then we are gonna be here all day, getting maybe too personal, plus, I often doubt that people with their busy lives bother to read much these days. But still, as one of my greatest heros, the late great Michael Brecker, and I used to say:
CAN'T MAKE THIS UP!!!
Again a huge Thank You to the guys on that LA gig!!!

I made this video as "quick" iMovie Project. The Goal was to SPREAD THE WORD about this topic. Hope you can help with that, given how important it is to the musicians, proffessional or not!
In the next Version 2.0 of this video, I will add more Text Overlays -- a "counterpoint", context specific to the News Reporters' Comments, in order to make this video more Information Rich...
