Me? I went to the AAA and obtained a triptych for a drive to California. Moreover, when the furniture van was outside to pick up the B3 Hammond organ and scenery for storage, I took the Peavey amp out the stage door and into my car telling the guy that Hurok owed me over a $1000 for the theft of musical arrangements. "Well," he said, "in that case, just sign here, and it clears me."
Next day, I said Goodbye to an old girlfriend with whom I'd been staying over on 3rd Avenue and headed out to California through the Lincoln Tunnel and into New Jersey. At one gas station en route to LA, a mechanic observed that I was very low on my rear springs. I told him "that's a bass amp speaker cabinet on the rear seats and bass speakers are heavy." I took a 60 mile detour to visit the Grand Canyon en route and was ecstatic that I'd made that decision. I've returned several times since those days.
Hurok President, Sheldon Gold, it should be noted, was summarily fired from Hurok after the 1975 Bolshoi Ballet tour incurred a 6 or $800,000 loss, which wasn't his fault because this event was previously set up by Sol Hurok himself in Russia, after which he died. But Sheldon Gold honored the contract in the same way he honored our contract. Who knows what happened to the actors of the National Theatre?
