July 1st (tomorrow) is CANADA DAY.

Going to drop by a friend's place with my fantastic Yamaha Tyros4 and have us a nice little BBQ and sing-a-long.

In regards to your topic, where am I gigging on July 4th, I'm working two Yamaha Tyros4 clinics, so it's also a money making day for me too.

* 7:30 AM, playing at the start (and finish) of a 10K run in downtown (arranger).

* 10 to 2, in the operations room of the 4th event organizers...hospitality room (guitar- instrumentals).

* 3:30-upright on a float for a Jazz Arts group.

* 5:00 PM, at a country club-cook-out at the "19th hole" at a special golf event (Guitar-instrumentals).

* 9:00 PM, lounge at the same country club (trio-grandson-drums, son-upright-grandpa-guitar and Nord C-1).

* About 2:30 AM, Tuesday morning: voice over and vocal on ad campaign materials for a utility (electricity conservation). Love to do studio work late at night, with no interruptions. Almost all studio work done after midnight

It's all in the organization and having "youngsters" to move and set-up the equipment.


Russ

Notes: (First three jobs-same employer-same location-within several hundred feet. 2nd two-same employer-close proximity. Studio work-my scheduling. Time was available. Music beds recorded earlier in the week-tonight, in fact).

Have a double tomorrow, sailing on Saturday and Sunday, double on the 4th. Reading some of the posts above I realized Fran married a gal half his age. (The Devil made me say that,Fran.) wink

Have a great and safe holiday weekend everyone,

Going to Benton, AR to see Joe Lee Richards. Dean Mathis and I will play for the Benton City fireworks celebration. We will start at 6 and work til dark, outdoors in a covered pavilion.
We've done it the past few years and it's lots of fun. There will be several thousand people in the park.
We plan to use two Bose L1s. I will use the Roland BK-7m. Dean will play steel guitar, fiddle, piano and sing.
Joe will not be playing guitar with us this year as he is recovering from surgery and some other problems. He will surely sing a couple though.

I'm in Cuernavaca, Mexico so of course the 4th is not celebrated here. A dear friend of ours is having a birthday party on satudrday and she invited us to play. On Sunday we play a brunch at a private club/resort. Both events are outside. It's the rainy season down here. It has not stopped raining for the last 48 hours. Parts are starting to flood so I'm not sure if our weekend gigs will go through or not. I'm so glad we got our leaky roof fixed just in time!

Great stuff! Have a super day, Russ.

I just have a nursing home in the morning and one in the afternoon.

And everyone else, have a great weekend!

Just a nursing home gig?

Not that hanging around Russ for a day wouldn't be a lot of fun, but I'd rather have your gigs than his that day, Beak...

The only reason I say "just" a nursing home gig is because of the meager amount of $$ that I'm making for such a major holiday. I'm making $450 for my two 55-minute shows. Nothing to be ashamed of but nothing to write home about.

This is one of my top two most lucrative jobs of the year. It's a 3-hour drive but well worth it. The other is in Ft. Worth in December.

DonM, let me know if you need a "roadie" in FT Worth in December. It would be great to catch up with you!

I'll let you know the date when it is set for certain. It will most likely be at Colonial CC again.
Love to see you again.
