Regular club gig...24th year. Go to the school where I fund the guitar club in Louisville in the afternoon. Gonna hear a concert (yea) by 20 kids; all under 10 playing guitars.

Earplugs, anyone?


Russ

Thats the only night i still gig, i will be performing my Freddy K gig...

Does anyone dress up in a costume, etc, etc, for a Halloween gig.....?

Personally a Black shirt and my Traditional Halloween tie with Ghosts & Pumpkins etc, Tie is it for me!

Donny ... you keep posting pics with chicks like that, Gary's going to get jealous !!! ...

.

Nah, I won't get jealous - I have more than I can handle right now. I stopped at the jewelry store where I do a special Christmas sale job for them every year and they just added a couple new ladies there. Photos to come after the December job.

For Halloween I have a double, a one hour job at an assisted living center, then a 7 till 9 p.m. job at an upscale retirement community in their nite club, complete with a costume parade. The old man at the keyboard will be wearing his bright orange satin shirt, black silk vest, black slacks - gotta look good for the ladies.



Gary

Looking Good Gary !!!

Florida?.....you cant leave your devoted fans they love you.....
just sayin'

One Halloween gig … my least favorite – don’t like most of the Halloween ‘appropriate’ songs … Monster Mash, Ghostbusters oooffaa …

That's why I don't take Halloween gigs ... I'd rather be at home giving out candy ...

I've got a one hour gig at a retirement, assisted living house. Didn't really give much thought to Halloween songs; maybe I should add a couple... like???

Fun Halloween gig last night...
I loved the GUMBALL MACHINE Costume!!!!

It's great to see people go 'all out' to have fun at a party ...

Oh yeah another week to go before the real Halloween day.......then I look forward to VETERANS Day dances, Then Thanksgiving & into the big Holiday Season Christmas, Hanukkah, New years Eve! .....
one of my favorites times of the year for sure.

Man, Nigel, I forgot how good these guys were. I remember playing 20 minute jams of this with a jazz/funk group. The musicianship is outstanding.

Shows what you can do with a different kind of three chord tune.


Thanks for the find and reminder.

Nigel ... thank you for 'resurrecting' this great tune ...

I never did Spooky, but now I do. Nigel made me learn it.

If anyone needs the SMF "Spooky"....enjoy..

One more song to add to the Halloween list. Wow!

Gary

I love doing Spooky & Love Potion #9 ............

Here is the Mp3 backing version of spooky.....enjoy.

One of the "Gravest" Hits of All Time - Monster Mash all vocals completely LIVE on a Yamaha TYROS 4

I'm glad thats over........kicked off my Halloween Triple gig day at 11AM with Sinatra's "Witchcraft" & never looked back till 11pm at night Whew!!

I had a ball, double yesterday. The first job was at an assisted living facility where I only had to do 1-1/2 hours. I kicked off with Witchcraft as well and never looked back.

The second job was at an upscale retirement community, had about 90 people in the room where I performed, and there was another party taking place at the facility's nite club, which holds about 60. The costumes were absolutely incredible, and there was a costume parade, during which I performed "Thriller." They loved it, especially when I did the Vincent Price segment with my bullfrog voice. Even had several visitors up dancing to Thriller as well, mostly youngsters in their 40s. Kept the place lively with lots of rock and roll songs from the 50s to 70s, but interspersed with some shoo-bop songs from the 60s to keep the dancers on the floor.

As the song goes, Oh What A Night,

Gary
