In other areas such as theatre and dance artists ensure they have proper 
working papers to cross borders. The repercussions if you are caught can be 
disastrous. The INS does not take kindly to illegal aliens working stateside.
I wonder if it is easier for Americans coming to gig in Canada? I know the 
main Yiddish festivals do the paperwork but I find that individual presenters 
are loathe to spend the time or energy and leave it up to us artists to 
concoct kakmaymee(sp) stories about why we are traveling with sheet music, 
CDs for sale, instruments, etc.
It is a catch 22 as its darn near impossible with the short lead times for 
many gigs to get the proper papers in order.
