Tom Cavanaugh Senior Member Registered: 12/06/99 Posts: 2133 Loc: Muskegon, MI	Tonight, My wife and I are having dinner with four other couples who are close friends. My better half spent 25 years by herself while I played on NYE. I gave up playing on NYE about 10 years ago. I have not a single regret. I love to perform but I really enjoy bringing in the new year with my wife of almost 35 years and good friends. When I was raising four kids and paying tuition to Christian School I needed the extra cash. Now it is no longer as important as my wife and good friends. You folks still playing knock em dead!

I've done this exact routine for six years in a row, so...no surprises...just fun... Happy New Year! Bill _________________________ Bill in Dayton

ianmcnll Senior Member Registered: 07/27/05 Posts: 10606 Loc: Cape Breton Island, Canada	My gig was awesome. Played from 5-9 and made more in tips than what they paid me, which was already a very reasonable amount. Used my PSR-3000 and a pair of Yamaha MS60s powered monitors...perfect! The extra $$$ will sure come in handy. Fell asleep at 11:30....

travlin'easy Senior Member Registered: 12/08/02 Posts: 15576 Loc: Forest Hill, MD USA	As the song goes "Oh What A Night!" Everyone loved the music, the dancefloor was packed for much of the evening, and I'm already booked for the same location next year. Played until 12:45, packed up and got home about 1:30--just in time for the electricity to go out. Lit some candles, hit the sack, the cat woke me up at 8:00 a.m. and now I'm getting ready for this afternoon's job.

J. Larry Member Registered: 12/14/99 Posts: 521 Loc: University, MS 38677 USA	Played with my 4-piece group for a real dancing bunch at a private supper club. Even had the waiters, bartenders, etc. on the floor for the final tune. Packed-up by 1:00 and home within 5 minutes. Nice arrangement.

Songman55 Member Registered: 06/24/05 Posts: 892 Loc: Baltimore, MD USA	Did 2 parties at retirement communities. Was finished by 11 and had time to go to our townhouse at the Inner Harbor and watch fireworks with the family from the rooftop. I have another one tonight, one tomorrow afternoon, one Friday afternoon, and one on Sunday night, all New Year's parties. I'll be counting down in my sleep.
