My Week on tour backing for Stevie Wonder (part 3)

I called Andre, minutes later, to find out what was going on, and the long and short of the story, was that as Andre explained the situation to the groom, the response was far from positive, and Andre was met by a very angry response, detailing how much he was disappointed with being let down, after everything had been agreed and arranged, for what was going to be the biggest day of his life. 
Naturally Andre quickly realised that perhaps he shouldn't have assumed that the couple would be so sympathic like himself, and perfusely appologised, explaining that he would not ever let the wedding suffer, and had already found a replacement for me. I think more than anything though, the groom perhaps didn't like the idea of someone casaully being swapped around for his special day, and felt that what ever was going to be arranged would have been a second rate mock up! 
Andre in his haste to rectify the situation, was only quick to try and slot me back in, as not to both let the couple down, and also not to destroy his credible reputation. 


I totally understood, and actually was under the impression that everyone was going to take this stance, to be honest, maybe even Andre. I decided that I would go back to my original plan of doing both engagements if I could, schedules permitting, and if I am made aware that the times conflict, I would simply have to pull out of the Stevie gigs, which was actually if I'm honest, seemed the more likely of the two!


What took place next however, was a divine miracle!
