btweengigs Senior Member Registered: 09/09/02 Posts: 2204 Loc: Florida, USA	9-1 at a country club community. 300 tickets sold. Working with my female singer of 6 years ago...a fabulous singer and entertainer that was sidelined with two malignant nodes on her vocal cords. Now, 6 years and two operations later the cancer is gone and her voice is almost back to where it was. HAPPY NEW YEAR Eddie

DonM Senior Member Registered: 06/25/99 Posts: 16735 Loc: Benton, LA, USA	I THOUGHT I was getting my first N.Y. off in 20 or so years, but I'm playing at the supper club instead. When the owner heard I wasn't playing he asked me to set up in the "other" end of the building from where I normally play, so there will be entertainment on both sides. Actually, since I was off the past two nights, I'm ready for action again anyway! Now, I'm off to play golf. Happy New Year to all! DonM _________________________ DonM

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!

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. Just another fun day in Paradise , Gary ------------------ Travlin' Easy _________________________ PSR-S950, TC Helicon Harmony-M, Digitech VR, Samson Q7, Sennheiser E855, Custom Console, and lots of other silly stuff!

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.

captain Russ Senior Member Registered: 01/02/04 Posts: 7305 Loc: Lexington, Ky, USA	Played my regular Friday-Saturday early job feom 5-8; then the private club I've played for over 20 years. Finished up at 1:30 and went to an after hours party for Lexington folks in the service industry (musiciansm waiters, bartenders, cooks, etc.)Was held at a local restaurant. Stayed until about 4:00 AM. Nice to relax with people you work with or who you never see because of conflicting work schedules. Russ

keysvocalssax Member Registered: 03/12/06 Posts: 845 Loc: Miami FL nov-may/Lakeville CT ...	the gig i had..this is the future, guys, watch out! new casino opened at old Hollywood FL dog track. In the main room: hundreds of slots programmed with continuous loud beep-beep-beep sound loops all going at a deafening cacaphony. at the same time, recorded music being piped all over the room at about the same volume. at the same time: at one end of the room, a guy at a grand piano, in the middle of the room, a strolling sax player, at the other end, me on arranger keys/vocals. when i turned up so as to drown out the other sounds and hear myself, a 90-yr old woman in a platinum blonde wig who sat at the nearest slot kept complaining to mgmt I was too loud, but she wouldn't give up her "lucky seat" and move away. surely the end of days is near.PLEASE!!! ------------------ Miami Mo _________________________ Miami Mo

BCtines Junior Member Registered: 11/29/04 Posts: 11	Interesting stuff! My NYE date this year was on a mattress with stereo pillows. Pay was lousy! But we're cutting a new album starting tomorrow and needed the rest. Did play a short gig New Year's night. Small venue, but in and out in 2 hours and asleep by 23:00. Plus lots of bods to lug stuff, so a restful time.
