Hi guys, I have 20 gigs....some are doubles (few) I do not like to rush, that includes New Years eve, is a very good month, I have had 20 or more gigs in the last few months, but money is better.
The types of gigs are mainly dances for seniors and also lots of Xmas parties, and a couple Bday parties.
I hope my PA 800 arrives before Xmas.

Nice work guys, someday I'd like to have the number of gigs that many of you have. I have 4 for the month of December actually turned one down because of a conflict, but with a 55 hour per week full time job,plus family and other of life's committments/responsibility can't do it all. Hope someday to reverse the equation and work a lot less and play a lot more. One things for sure I'm learning a a lot here.

Happy Holidays or what I really mean is Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

I just reshuffled my schedule (that's muso-speak for quitting one job and getting another) and now I'm booked solid through the month except that I now have Sundays off, which is an unexpected bonus. Wait a minute - NYE is on a Sunday - so I have almost every Sunday off.

In numbers that means:

23 restaurant gigs
1 corporate party
2 private parties

Ever think of asking them?

I've never had to LOOK for a NY's eve job. Somebody always calls, usually several. It's not the end of the world if they don't. Haven't had one off in 30 years!

I don't have my calendar in front of me. I do nursing homes, retirement homes, senior centers, and park districts. I have about 65 one hour shows. That's if I survive. I have never had such a grueling schedule in my life, and I hope my voice and overall health hold up.

Someone gave me some important advice: Wash your hands regularly, and wash your keyboard keys regularly to avoid getting sick.

I would love to get information from Bill about shopping mall gigs. I bet those pay very well!
