First off, Wayne Homes is a Joker so don't read too deep into his postings if it sounds strange. That's because, it is. If English in not your first language then I hope you get part of his humor. I am still digging..lol
On the Dominican Republic thing, one of my earliest Gigs (1970?) was subbing with a Merengue type band from the D.R., Alberto Beltran. All the music notations were in Spanish and the Codas and D.S signs had my head spinning. I got lost more times than not..
But, it was a fun night, the music was great (I was the LEAST great) and I had a good learning experience. Welcome to the forum.
Now you know one more thing about Ken Smith that you didn't know 5 minutes ago..
