 Harri,
I would equate that with a need to provide a way of being able
to pay the bills. In other words, 'Money', a decent pay check. 
Besides that, I am sure it is a fun gig for him. In a perfect world 
he would be able to just do his thing and tour the world and make 
enough to make ends meet, ah the stuff that dreams are made of!

This has been one of the hardest vinyls to find and luckily now is reissued on CD. I agree that Mitch Kashmar is a master of tone and phrasing and also all of his releases after Pontiax are proof of this. Especially good is "Live At Labatt". Mitch is also a great vocalist. Only thing I can't understand is why he spends his current career with the funk band War. His prerogative, of course, but a lot of blues harp talent wasted.
