I agree .Its sad to see anybody loose their job.The Stevie Nicks company is like any other company in this country.Stevie and Waddy are looking to cut costs.Cutbacks are everywhere and they are saying its getting better.

Don't forget Bobbie Hall was her percussionist in the beginning.

I wonder how much notice you get before you can assume, "Well, if I haven't heard anything yet, I guess I won't be included."

I imagine that depends on the size of she show. With a big act or a long tour, you probably get tapped on the shoulder 6 months or a year in advance. When they're small it's different.

With Jana she seemed to know far enough in advance but she didn't like the way she found out on the grapevine and didn't hear from them personally.

I was thinking the other night about Stevie is touring all the time now.We've seen her on tour every year for almost 10 years now Including FM,Tom Petty shows.
Waddy and her crew are lucky to keep going out on the road with her.

"reminded me of Jana feeling a little blindsided when she lost her spot."

OK you have peaked my curiosity.. I just assumed, that Jenna left because with her CD, she was moving on to focus on her own career?? Guess not?? So what's the story?????

I heard she found out through other band members she wasn't included in Stevie's last solo tour. She was supposedly still down for a FM tour, but since those plans were put on hold, I guess we'll see...

Thanks for the quick answer.. I guess I get so wrapped up in the music I forget it really is a business as well..
