Tony,

We had a ball, and I've played with them in the past. However, at my age getting home at 3 in the morning, putting up with drunks, and $75 for 4 hours work just don't cut it. I'm now to the point where semi-retirement will probably take place next year. I'm also one of the few full-time musicians I know that has been faithfully putting money into their own retirement fund for the past 15 years. You can't go into semi-retirement if you do break even jobs. Yep, those jobs are lots of fun, but when you do this for a living you need to put something away for the future years.

Cheers,

Gary
