I just finished 12 jobs over the past 8 days and most of them were Valentine's Day parties. There were some years when I didn't do that many Christmas parties. Love is in the air baby.

Ciao,

Joe

Joe,

Congratulations old guy! Lots of jobs out there these days, and during the next few months I think I'm gonna' begin saying no for the fist time in my life. So if you want some of mine, let me know.

Cheers,

Gary

Yeah! Right on! I had 4 shows on Monday and 4 shows on Tuesday! All nursing homes, retirement homes, senior clubs, and park districts.

I never had such a good Valentine's Day either.

I wore my tie with hearts on it. That went well.

Thanks Tony. My songs were recorded on either the Roland G 1000 or G 800. On The Way You Look Tonight and Sway, I multi-tracked the parts of the arranger. On the others it's just straight out of the stereo outputs. I muted all piano parts from the arranger and played them myself on the Roland RD 700. On jobs I just use the piano patch in the arranger. For a vocal mike I used the Neumann U 87ai and all the songs were recorded onto a Roland VS 2480.

I don't usually record to tracks, it takes the fun out of it. I just ordered a Ketron Midjay from AJ, so I will probably be expanding my horizons as far as midi files, MP3's and WAV files. A new toy is always fun. I can't wait to take it on jobs.

Ciao,

Joe

Hi Joe, just had a chance to checkout your website. I concur with Tony Mads. very nice vocals indeed, especially on "The Way You Look Tonight". Having auditioned the Midijay at Namm myself, I'm confident you're going to really enjoy the Midijay, especially for your particular performance venue. - Scott
