Donny, First things first I'm gigging Christmas Eve at an Italian restaurant in Providence's Italian section called "Federal Hill." But the gigging I'm doing is sitting at a dinner table to partake in "La Vigilia" aka Feast of the 7 Fishes.

New Years Eve, I'm playing at a country club in Massahusetts for their members dinner from 6:30 to 8:30. Then maybe I'll get to catch Mikey Maestro in Newport, Rhode Island for his first night show.

On Christmas Eve, I always play at one of the older hotels in town. It's the gathering place for lots of the service people from area clubs, restaurants, etc. I played this hotel 6 nights a week for about 10 years. As service people get off work, they stop by for a minute.

New Years will be at the restaurant I play week-ends from 6-8-then, on to the country club I've played for 20 years. I'll be joined by a respected area educator on sax, which is something I've been looking forward to most of this year. Finally, we'll show up for an impromptu jam at another private club for breakfast.


H0-Ho-Ho, everyone!

Two hours background at a RC on Christmas day...home by 3:00pm, just as the turkey is in the home stretch...

Two shows on NYE...Solo at a RC in the afternoon, then a dinner/dance with my quartet to ring in the new year...

Then a double on New Year's Day...
