We made a solemn vow not to take any job
outside of show business. We borrowed money from parents and friends, rather
than take that lethal job waiting tables. This forced us to take any job
offered to us. Anything. We once did a show in the middle of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in Philadelphia as part of a fashion show on a hot July night while all
around our stage, a race-riot was fully underway. That's how serious we were
about our vow of commitment. Raymond
