I can't wait to make people happy on Christmas Day playing music... I have a Christmas Luncheon job I do every year.....
plenty of time afterwards to be with my own family. A wise man told me years ago during one of my gigs he said
"Donny God gave you the gift of music.. do you know why? I said no,.. in which he responded,...so you can share it with the world" and I believe that every time I perform!!

Merry Christmas One and All

Merry Christmas Donny and please wish your daughter and her family a Merry Christmas as well. How are they doing since Sandy?

I have a show this morning and tomorrow afternoon.

Of course, all the neighbors gather by the bathroom window when I sing Christmas carols in the shower. They come for the free show.

I'm staying in over Christmas, enjoying my new digs, eating lobster(an AWESOME wink gift from someone in my building), a few special guests at my cozy apartment with whom I will be enjoying some hot chocolate, marshmallows, and musical camaraderie (a jam session, baby!) with my Tyros4 as the 'house band'.

I haven't played at an official Christmas gig in several years, and to be quite honest, I don't miss it at all.

As Uncle Dave said in a post the other day, "This is a time for 'R&R', and that doesn't mean 'Rock&Roll'. wink

Have great Christmas Donny, and have fun playing.

Ian

For the first time in decades I will not be performing on Christmas Day, and I will not spend Christmas Eve with my family. I seriously considered flying home for Christmas and surprising my wife and family, but not only was it cost prohibitive, I would have been worrying about all my music gear stored aboard the boat.

Today, the temperature at Marathon Key, Florida is expected to rise to 72 degrees, which is just fine for this old man. At home, there is a winter weather warning in the western part of the state, freezing rain and snow is predicted west of Frederick, Maryland, while the rest of the state will just get rain.

Merry Christmas everyone,

Gary cool

Ian enjoy,.......I perform on ALL Holidays,......when people are Off from work that = $$$$$ & much joyfulness to both myself and the Audience. Performing music is what makes me happy, & I am fortunate to be able to make a living doing just that for the last 46+ years. I still get excited right before I go on stage just like i did when I was a kid,...it truly is a Gift!

Happy Holidays
