Its great to see parents and their children doing stuff like that. The experience will stay with both of you.

I could see the woodland stirring as it awoke in the morning and then as it went back to sleep ... smile

SILVER THREADS AMONG THE GOLD is the old (very old) standard, is it not?

Yes - sorry didn't mean to include that. He enjoys looking out for older (often forgotten) tunes and arranges them for Keyboard Cavalcade or his own books.

I'd like to project the dancing audience on a screen at some of my venues.

Eddie - be very careful before you make anyone's image "PUBLIC" - you may be infringing on their privacy ... what if someone is there with someone they're not "really" supposed to be there with? Even if it's a somewhat innocent dance with a friendly stranger. Someone sees an image of them dancing with "?" and it gets back home ... trouble. I worked a club in the 80s that tried that and the backlash was horrendous!
In today's crazy world people are so quick to cry "civil rights violations" ... I'd think real hard before you project a crowd's image in public.
Maybe I'm over worrying, but it just sounds risky.

Dave...Your points are well taken. The more I think about carrying more gear and plugging in more stuff, the less excited I have become.
