I will be away for the next couple of days as I am playing with my band Red Rhythm at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. It should be a fun gig. We are playing poolside at the MGM because that is being closed off for the convention party we are playing for. It is for a group of California Real Estate companies so we were thinking maybe should start the set with Dire Straits "Money For Nothing".

Nigel,
start with "We built this city"

Nice going Nigel....
Let us know how the gig went.
As they say...."Break a leg".

Nigel, welcome to the bright lights of Vegas. Sounds like a terrific gig. Don't forget to take pics and share them with us. "Break a Leg", but keep on playing. I bet I know where Kerry will be. Hope you guys return to Ventura with LOTS of big winnings.

Sounds like a good time,have fun!

Hey there buddy, don't let the machines and tables eat up your earnings. They don't build those big palaces because they like to give away money.

Vegas, you say...I'm jealous! In nearly 50 years of playing, I never made it there!

Way to go!

Nigel.....Congratulations and enjoy....it's great to play the "Big Time" but be careful, it gets pretty addicting...

Whew, I'm back again. We had a great time. We played by the pool at the MGM that was closed off for the private party. You just can't beat playing in the evening outdoors at the foot of a major casino with the Las Vegas skyline surounding you. Viva Las Vegas !!!!

My wife Kerry was there and shot a couple of short AVI clips with her digital camera. Here are clips from Hurts So Good and Is She Really Going Out With Him

And the party loved it and we are going back next year to play the same convention.

Good stuff Nigel - Haven't heard that old Joe Jackson song in quite a while - I think I'll look up the words and music.

You look like you had a lot of fun - well done making it back in one piece...
