Russ,

I too wish I lived in Lexington and you could hire me. It sounds like you are going to treat the musicians with fairness and respect. I do have a cousin who lives in Lexington and we have stayed there a few times. If we ever visit again we'll have to dine where you are playing. My first real gig was at a restaurant where I played 6 to 9 every Friday and Saturday.

Don, don't use the free meal at Harrah's. You'll just waste it on those creepy things that swim in the creeks. Now if they had Lake Michigan perch among the choices you would really have something worth eating.

Tom
