You have got some GREAT stories ... have you written them down? ...
When our band was together, we would take hats, noisemakers, etc., from the New Year's Eve gig we were working and we would have our own New Year's party the Saturday after ... Guy Lombardo on the stereo and everything ... At some point during the party, our drummer (founder and co-leader) would bring out the business calendar and tell stories from the more 'unusual' gigs of the year ... we always said we should have put them to pen and paper for posterity, but you know how that goes ...
