Beautiful story! Here's my story of what unbelievable stand-up guys Bobby and Sonny Osborne were. Sorry about the length, but it's worth it! In about 1984, I was doing my last year helping to produce the RI Cajun & BG Festival. The Osbornes were in our lineup...but I messed up bigtime, and did not finalize the contract with Sonny. They couldn't figure out why we'd never finalized, but they just took another booking for that day in the hills of western Virginia. Two weeks before the date, I found out that the Osbornes - whom we'd been advertising - were not coming. Sonny went w-a-a-a-y beyond the call of duty. Having worked with us before, he knew it was an honest mistake. So - he agreed to the wacky solution I cooked up: we rented a private jet, got their VA promoter to agree to a schedule change, and the Osbornes drove from Delaware to RI (in a minivan we brought to them) at 5:00 am after having closed the show the night before, while their bus drove down to a tiny airstrip in VA. They played a double set for us in RI at about noon, then got in our rented jet and flew to VA, where their driver ferried them to the other festival, which they closed. The whole thing went off like clockwork, my boss lost money on the deal, but we delivered the Osbornes as promised. Only later did I find out that Sonny hated and feared small planes, and normally refused to fly in them. Those were real super-decent human beings. I don't think I would have agreed to do what they did!
