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.

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!!!

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.

Local restaurant, http://www.restaurante-acacio.com/, from 8 pm to... 6 am. I only saw my bed at 7 in the morning! Pretty exausting, but all went well. Happy New Year to all SZoners! -- José.
