Fun riders - musician heights
« on: October 25, 2014, 05:26:21 AM »

I'm programming a show today for next week (Della Mae, 2014 Grammy nomination for Best Bluegrass Band) and the rider included the heights of all the musicians.

It took me a little while to figure out why. Anyone care to guess ?

So the alleged star isn't made to look shorter than anyone else?

On the subject of height - on the radio yesterday, there was a comment made about The Rolling Stones.  On TV and in pictures, they all look quite tall, but Mick Jagger is only 5' 8"... and he is the tallest in the band!

Does it have anything to do with goats being part of the after-show entertainment?  :o

Thinking out of the box will get you closer.  Not goats, but I like your creativity.

The after-show camel rides?

Modesty garments for the women?
