Usually on stage they roll down a big 25x25 ft projection screen right in front of me for the ball Drop in Times Square NYC as I have to setup 5 feet back and at 11:45 take a break while everyone watches the ball drop and screaming and yelling starts & I start playing Auld Lang Syne from behind the curtain,.......then at around 12:10 or so they life the screen up and most people are gone home or are on the phone calling family & friends so I'll fire up "Celebration" to fill the air for the leftover crowd,and then end the night singing & playing the classic
"What are you doing new years Eve" at 12:30 its over..$$$$
