I'll go first:

*First job (that's for Uncle Dave, who hates the "G" word): February, 1956 (11 years old) at the Officers Club-Ladd AFB, Fairbanks, Alaska. Pay: $10.00 for two hours.

*First song: "Mr. Sandman"-Les Paul style.

* Worst Gig: 1976-Sportsman Lounge-Lexington, Kentucky. A guy comes staggering out of the mens room just a few feet from where I was playing with his throat slit-caught by his "date's" husband.

* Best Gig: Imperial House-Lexington, 1978. Raised, revolving circular platform stage. Several well endowed servers with low-cut tops passing by constantly. Man, I missed a lot of notes and changes, and didn't give a damn!

Who's next?
