First gig ... About 13 years young (circa 1952), my father got me a gig for $5 at a local 'Eagles' club ...
At 16, in my first band (R'n'R) playing at a picnic at my High School on the back of a truck as a stage ... felt like a rock star !!!
First vocal - PS I Love You by Johnny Mercer and Gordon Jenkins
http://www.stlyrics.com/lyrics/psiloveyou/psiloveyou.htm Worst gig ... a wedding where no one from one side spoke with the other side ... no dancing, laughing, NOTHING !!!
Best gig ... A lot of them, but one of the best was at "The Manor" in New Jersey ... 8 hours - all the food we could eat, including lobster !!! .......
