Forgot the Grand. they basically do big wedding in the upstairs ballroom. Downstairs is remodeled into a br/restarrant where the owners friend DJ's weekends through the house speakers in the ceiling. I offered some keyboard music for the dinner time before he starts. "Don't want ot give up the table space"
The PR package is a good idea and I guess I've just been too lazy to tackle something like that.
Gigging is half and half for me now. I enjoy playing but I also feel I deserve a decent compensation for my work. Love to just do Hammond/Piano in a tight Blues band. There's one here and they won't add to the trio. Even they travel to PA a lot to do gigs. Was with a classic Rock group for a year. Two gigs, one of wwhich I got, and no one wanted to do any more booking work.
One of my fun gigs that defies age prejudice is when I fill in at the local VFW. The younger people and young bartenders love me and want me to take over for the regular Fri. night guy. He's another Mr. Line Dance player. He's rarely out but its always a good night for me that goes way over time. Mgr. won't make a move without the Boards approval and most of them never come on a Fri. to see whats going on. Again we'll see, its in the works.
