About a decade ago I attended a conference and Barry Mitchell was included. In it he spoke of the importance of a good pair of shoes, one that complimented your image and that you wore only during performances. About 9 years later I realized he was right... I could not find what I wanted but had them custom made overseas (yes I know, a risk, right?). They were most expensive piece of wardrobe I've ever purchased (over 200) but an investment that pays off every time I walk in to a venue. Don't forget the shoes! Thanks, Barry.
