John: here on the east side of the SF Bay, we root for the Oakland Raiders, though there's been rumor that they may be eventually leaving
the Bay area. In that case, the 49er's are the Bay Area's football team favorite.
John, do let us know when you're in Northern Califoria. It will be a great excuse to have another California synthzone member arranger get toether & jam. Maybe you could use your influence to get Ketron to sell & support the SD1/XD9 in the San Francisco Bay area, as currently (as far as I know), there aren't any retail music stores here carrying them.
TonyW: Yep, I still occasionally take my cut out musicians with me, but I do charge more to include them, and since the client insisted on hiring a DJ too
, the backup musicians had to go.
Leave it to UD to offer his ever 'provacative' comments.
I REFUSE to host a karaoke show. My part of the deal was to provide live dinner show music entertainment. The revolving green lights, karaoke monitor
, and DJ dance was (as customarily) reserved for much later on, after the guests get themselves drunk and crazy . . . thankfully long after I'm gone. At least it's nice feeling to be paid well, and not have to deal with the drunks, and get home at a decent hour too. So far, live musicians and karaoke continue to co-exisit here.
