So, what takes you backstage Billcat? Are you a musician or an actor? I play drums and used to work at a club in Liverpool backing cabaret. I was once whistling a tune in the dressing room when we had finished getting the dots and the cabaret artist asked me how long I had been in "show business." I told him how long and then asked why he wanted to know. He moaned on about people whisting in the dressing room being bad luck. I had never heard of that superstition, mind you, I'm not superstitious anyway so it didn't bother me. Mind you, it may have had an effect on him, because he was bloody crap!
