Hi Don,

Here's an interesing one. About five months ago the activities director at a facility I play for asked me if I'd be interested in playing for then on New Year's Eve from 6 till 8. I politely declined and then she mentioned what she would be willing to pay me and I said I'd think about it. I took the job. About a month after that another facility asked me to play from 9 till 10. Again, willing to pay decent money. The bottom line, I'm playing 2 easy gigs for the same big bucks I usually make on the outside and I'll be finished in time to go to our inner harbor condo to watch fireworks with the family, and, I won't have to deal with any drunks. Who would have guessed.

Happy New Year everyone!

Joe
