Sorry to hear that. I hope your next gig is much, much, more profitable. Playing for the door is always a gamble, but if that's the agreement, everyone should pay, and if someone comes in free, the club should pay for him/her. It's one of the reasons why I started doing mostly private parties. We played at an old mobile home park. I mean old, probably 1960s or 70s, judging from the construction of the clubhouse. Our first time there, referred by another client. There was a mix of old and newer trailers, and some new RVs. Although the clubhouse was old, it wasn't run down. There was a small stage, and it was decorated for the party. The guests started coming early, a lot of French Canadians spending the winter here in Florida and some English-speaking folks as well. The place was packed with extra folding chairs brought in to accommodate the crowd. Second song, they hit the dance floor and never left. We played an hour overtime, and they were still on the floor. We could have played another, but at midnight they had to shut it down - park rules. They already reserved another date. ♫ The night before that was another 900space RV Resort. We do this one once or twice a month. Even though it was cold (by Florida Standards) the place was full, and we had a great time. ♫ The afternoon before that we did a concert at an Assisted Living Facility. We've done this one before, too. One hour in the afternoon, and they want us back next month. It's the tourist season here in Florida, so there is a lot of work. Notes ♫

***** on Feel the Noize — Quiet Riot Nanny-bot didn't like the word that sounds like come

$29 or 29 years old? I was used way before I reached 29, and I don't think anyone ever paid $29 for me.

Breakfast In America — Supertramp

Second try for this one...

The moral of the story: Don't get tied up in your work.

40 Miles From Denver — Yonder Mountain String Band

Blue Rondo ala Turk — Dave Brubeck Quartet (Paul Desmond is one of my all-time favorite jazz alto sax players)

Morning Dance — Spyro Gyra

You had one job.....

February Song - Josh Groban

I Lost Someone — James Brown From a great performance album, back when James was still a singer. The intro is composed of the titles of his hit records. It's not the best song on the album, but it fits perfectly in the middle of it. The album is a lesson in audience control.

It looks photoshopped, but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt.

Oops, got ninja'd Mickey One — Stan Getz

Shoo Fly Pie And Apple Pan Dowdy - Stan Kenton

Sun Ra — Neptune
