Another detail I wanted to add that I forgot...this might be the first time a kazzoo and a 'cow bell' were used at a Carnegie performance LOL
Also, I think the gentleman who sang most of HTRJ also arrived late to the show. Before I went to the Russian Tea Room restaurant to meet Funglaw, I went to check if Haleyholic was able to get the tickets released to me, this gentleman was in line with me. He was dressed casually, hardly the way you would dress to attend Carnegie. He had a Tambourine with him, with the letters "NOJO" painted on it in different colours....he was joking aloud at how things are so different in N'Orleans, that he hated how fast NY was, to which another guy who was with him, but in a suit, said "Yah, that's why you're waiting in line.."LOL .
So maybe that contributed to HTRJ not sounding as .... 'rehearsed' as you might think. You really couldn't make out Haley's vocals for most of the song in the hall either, but it all added to the 'loose' formality that this NOJO event had
Regarding Haley paying to perform a song, must have been for "Blues in the Night", but damn it was good. So glad there is audio to listen to, to relive the night

(I hope someone recorded Dee Dee's performance, and Irvin's last song tribute to his Dad...I was stunned at that performance it was soooo goood .
Also, remember when Harry mentioned to Himm2, something like "money comes in money goes out"....Haley is footing the bill for alot of what happens in her career I think (including how many people in her band comes with her). So much we don't know that goes into the process of her performances with finances being a significant part
