Nah, haven't had a decent NYE gig since I moved here years ago. It's OK,
though. A smuch as I miss the pay I certainly don't miss the drunks, or
hanging out at Dennys afterwards till all the drunk drivers find a cop or a
ditch.

Merry Christmas to all - may your grooves be tight and your tips be
plentiful,

Jazz Vespers, Old South Church, Boylston St in Boston MA. Jazz and
gospel New Year's Eve church service. Did it last year, it's a cool
gig, great gospel vocalist, no weird crazy drunks. OK, maybe just a
couple of weird crazy drunks.

Thought we had one at a regular stop until they decided they didn't
want to pay even what we have been getting the last 4 gigs. I don't
feel like going backwards. So.. it's me and my bride staying home and
safe.

Yeah, we've been having some issues with clubs recently on pay, and things
like charging the bands full price for fountain soda. There's a few clubs
we're staying clear of now - we really don't want to take their money
anymore than they want to pay it when it's a bad night.

We still have enough venues that are doing well to keep us busy enough.
Maybe not every weekend, but even an old gig whore like me gets tired of
that after a while.

The Blue Goose, on the shores of Lake Mille Lacs in Garrison MN. Always a
major party and drunkfest at that place.

No gig, this year. I was offered a low paying gig at "American Trash" in
NYC, which I politely declined. These days, I'd rather spend NYE with my
(new) wife and good friends. You really have to bribe me to pry me away from
them. I do have my price, though... ;-)

Happy New Year, and be safe out there!
