Final Thoughts on St. Mortiz
Filed Under blog
Well, I got through what was described to me by my agent as the “toughest gig in Europe”, and frankly I think I kicked serious ass! I did enough of the sing a long tunes to satisfy the crowd yet was able to throw in enough of my own style of songs so satisfy me. The entire staff of the Stubli were GREAT Guys and very supportive. Lovely fellows..Also, the other staff I met from the Waiters, to the bartenders in the Muli bar, to the big wigs I delt with at the hotel were all the utmost professional in their dealings with me. All in all a very challenging but satisfying gig. At this point all signs are positive that they want me back and if the timing is right, I would certainly consider it. The whole thing is the smoke. It’s very very difficult to perform at a satisfactory level with 30 cigarettes and a few Cigars going in a room that is maybe 20 by 30 feet. But you do get used to it and you learn to adapt while playing. The money was good but there were a bunch of things taken out of my check like Taxes and certain other charges against my pay by the hotel that i’m not entirely sure what they are. I have to investigate. I do know that 37% of my pay was gone to these taxes, agent fee, etc. Because I didn’t do it right with travel expenses this year I ended up not making as much money on the gig that I could have. If I do it again next year I know how to get there for much less money. Anyway, St. Mortiz is a very high brow Ski Resort town and the scenery is what you would imagine for the Swiss Alps. For me, as someone who lives in Alaska and who is used to breathtaking mountain scenery it wasn’t such shock but I can see people coming from most any other place, being blown away by St. Mortiz…Save your money and get there!!!!!
