Elizabeth, Audrey,
Have either of you ever tried the Bose Compact Amplifier? I have been using mine for 9 months and I am still amazed. Soooo, easy to carry and it shows no sign of distortion; and clear as a bell. Elizabeth, what sound system are you using? (And I have not forgotten what I was going to send you)

Audrey, I remember using the same type of sound check; Have my keyboard playing while a walked around the room, great. As far as the “Best Night ever”, the other people I think about is the people who have come to enjoy the event. Having the right people present is a must for a great night. Years ago I was booked to play a 4 hour job, by the end of the third there were no dancers. I played every winner song that I knew and no dancers. OUCH.

In the last 20 minutes two couples got up to dance to a fast song – they did a box step???
This was a religious group that did not favor dancing. And --- they never approached the bar for a drink. So we do need a good group of people who will appreciate what we do.
