Sure glad I'm in the sunny south.

The forecast for my part of Maryland is 8 plus inches of snow, temperatures falling to 7 degrees, followed by freezing rain. Yuck!

The forecast for here in Paradise is clear, sunny, temperatures in the upper 70s. OH YEAH!

Monday night was a lot of fun at Cabana Breezes where I managed to keep about 100 patrons at the bar after happy hour ended and they stayed till about 9:30 when I performed my last song of the evening. They didn't want me to stop, but after 3-1/2 hours with only two five minute breaks, I was worn out. It was a jumping night, lots of folks dancing and the Margarettas flowed.

There was a guitar player at Cabana Breezes tonight. He was very good, reasonable singer, but often sang a bit above his comfort level and used the pull-away technique when he had to hit a note outside his vocal range. His name is Billy Washburn and I'm guessing his age at about 45. He's from Chicago and plays 7 days a week, both here and there. He's at both locations six months a year.

His rig was fairly simple, a Bose L1 Model II, an MP3 player for his backing tracks, and he had the lyrics loaded in his I-phone. His dead time between songs was a bit lengthy, maybe 60 seconds or so, but his song selection was excellent - darned near identical to mine. Similar to others I've seen using an I-phone, it was mounted on what appeared to be a flimsy mic/music stand in a bracket, and it bounced around a lot when he used the touch screen.

I told Carol "You know he must be a pro - he hauled his gear in on an R-10 Rock and Roller cart.





Cheers,
