Nice to hear you all had a good day. Fran, I like your plan for St. Pats the best! You playing in Wildwood this weekend 3/20-21? We'll be in Cape May. love to meet you.

My last minute restaurant gig (I played in the small cozy bar area) went well. Surprized myself on how many Irish songs I actually had put in my homemade fakebook. After about an 1/2 hour and some polite appaluse from the bar crowd my first request came in. "You play great, how about no more Irish songs" HA! Loved it!
Spent the rest of the night mixing it up.
I don't do a lot of bar/restatrant gigs anymore but my one dream is to play one where there in NO TV!!
The manager sat at the bar transfixed with Anerican Idol with the sound off and subtext on. Even thought there was a small crowd I didn't ask him if he wanted me to go overtime. I knew he was dying to turn the sound up.
Thanked me, paid me cash, so like I said a gigs a gig.
