Ahhh, an old Rodney Dangerfield joke - love it

I still don't get no respect!

I was gonna write a post but I see as always this thread is going down hill fast into 1,2, Cha, Cha, Cha, territory. Ahhhh whats the use? too bad, it's a great discussion topic. I'm off to the movies.

cya.

Do you want fries with that?

You're playing in the wrong restaurants, Diki.

Fast cars, fast women, fast music, fast food...

I love 'em all!

Ian, the free food is a big bonus. I get fed every night at the finest restaurant in town. My size of my stomach is proof. Or is it in the pudding?

Yes, and when you're over 50, they will all take your breath away...literally.

Bring 'em on!

Ah yes, restaurant food has it's detractions (or additions )

Having a free meal late at night is a swell bonus...literally.

There was a time a few years ago where I did two gigs every Sunday...I did a noon gig, and was fed breakfast before I started, and, partook of the fantastic dinner buffet afterwards, and then played a supper gig at around 5 o'clock...again I had a light lunch before I started, and another when finished at 8 o'clock.

All free. I was a bachelor at the time, so it was pure bliss.

Luckily, I didn't gain much weight, and I sure missed those tasty meals when I packed up and moved away to another province.

This has been a crazy year for me. I'm turning down more work than anyone could imagine. I'm trying very hard to slow down, and it seems as if there is no one in my area to fill the gap. At least four, new, assisted living centers and three new retirement communities have opened, or are in the process of opening, withing 10 minutes drive time from my home. All have asked if I could perform for their grand openings, and if I could put them on my 2010 schedule. They must have picked up some stimulus money.

Cheers,

Gary
