Thanks to everyone to replied to my query about
insurance. I've considered it off and on over the years; it probably made more sense
when I was touring a lot. I'll probably sign up any way.

Here is a story that happened to a friend of mine. He was calling a dance in a publicly
owned building (rec. center, I believe, but not sure). There were folding chairs spread
around the walls. At one point, on each side of the hall, there was a fire extinguisher
hanging on the wall. The floor beneath the extinguisher wsa painted in a big square with
an admonition indicating no chairs were to be placed in front of the fire extinguisher..
in other words, a red zone. It was customary for the ladies attending this particular
venue to place their handbags (purses) on the floor, in the red square. One night, a
lady, who sitting next to the red square, reached down to retrieve her purse off the
floor. When she reached it, she stood up, and the top of her head crashed into the bottom
edge of the fire extinguisher. It caused a gash which had to be attended to in an
emergency room.
The lady sued the city, the dance club sponsoring the dance, the fire extinguisher
manufacturer, AND THE CALLER, whom she contended should have warned her about the danger.
Whether she won the suit or not, it still must be defended. Insurance is indispensable. If
you don't have it, get it. It's not expensive and it can save you so much
aggravation should an accident occur.
