Yeah, Donny ... now you're TALKIN' !!! ... and like chas, I am surprised to hear this from you ...
the happiest 26 years of my musical 'career' were spent playing gigs with 4 good friends who were good musicians and great guys ... and I regret the fact that my '9 - 5' at the time caused me to relocate to RI and leave that group behind ... now, would we be playing still today? ... with all of us in our mid 70's, I kind of doubt that we could be competing with the 'power' weddings bands in the NY area today - but with today's technology, who knows? ... I am just happy that I get to play a few of gigs a year with the sax player and guitar player, both of whom live in NJ ...

This past week I saw a good 50's group - 5 vocalists - 4 guys, 1 gal,- plus a drummer, KB player, and a friend of mine whom I have also gigged with a number of times, who plays sax/flute/guitar/blues harmonica ... I couldn't help thinking how I would LOVE to play with that group ...

PS ... my KB will NEVER end up in the closet, either ...
