... last week ...
Now I know what you all have been saying about how gratifying these gigs are ... I had a totally attentive audience, and they sang along, or kept time however they could ... Very appreciative applause after each tune ... had them singing "so good, so good, so good" in 'Sweet Caroline' along with a number of other tunes ... one woman sitting in front of me -looked like she might have been in her 90's - knew the lyrics to about 75% of the songs I played - from 'Chattanooga Choo Choo' to 'Brown Eyed Girl' ! ...
Got good comments from attendees and staff as they were leaving the room and I was packing up ...
Today I got a call from one of the activities staff booking me for 3 more gigs and asking me to put a hold on 3 other dates ... She said at least a 1/2 dozen attendees went to her office to tell her how much they enjoyed my music and asked when I was coming back ...
Looks like the 'career tree' is adding another branch ...

Quite a change from some of the stuffy country club gigs I play where some of the people don't even realize I'm there ...
