I still use a B-3, 2 147RV's, a suitcase Rhodes and a DX-7 on a house gig at a country club affiliated with the University. I've been a member since the mid-70's and have worked many, many jobs there over the years. These old dinosaurs have been stored there since I left my house gig at the Campbell house in 1983.

Maintenance is awful (read EXPENSIVE), I pay some of the help (an old country preacher M-1 player who works as a waiter) to move between rooms. At peak season, I sometimes have three holiday gigs on a Saturday, before my evening job.

My other jobs involve much smaller and lighter gear, but, man, about 4 nights a month, it's time to play "The Cat"!
Jazz night draws approximately 400 members and the few "jazzers" who can really play often join me...one time, it's a tenor/flute..another, a great guitarist, etc.

What FUN!
