I am! wouldn't have it any other way...its just a short gig at a Fathers Day Family Luncheon at a High End Assisted Living facility.....It makes me happy that I can make other people happy playing music with their dads that cant be home with their families.....they really appreciate it ....you can tell by the smiles on their faces......there's plenty of time l8r in the day for me to be with my wife & kids to enjoy fathers Day with them.

How about you?

Ok Im back from the gig...looks like Im the only one willing to work on some holidays?
to see the smiles on all the fathers faces today during my show was all it took to touch me deep inside...I just hope you never have to be in a facility and its a holiday & there's no entertainment because the activities director cant get anyone to work holidays for one stinking hour....

I have worked other years but I promised my boys I'd be home today and it's been very special. I didn't even work at church today. Have a great one!

Sure not rolling in the dough. That'll never happen as a musician

The only competition is against myself. Constantly striving to be the best I possibly can.

Zuki....how are you promoting your act....direct mail, email, fax, phone, etc ?

Regular job at a Country club for Father's day brunch. Have been doing Father's Fay, Mother's Day, Easter, Valentines, Christmas and Thanksgiving for over 20 years. It's where my B-3 is, but I use a Yamaha digital grand for these.
