Would be interesting to hear what this week & into next week to NYE brings in way of Gigs.....?

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!

Neat photos of one of my favorite places to be this time of year. I had the opportunity to stay at Useppa Island several years ago and fish Boca Grande for tarpon during their annual Tarpon Tournament. Great fishing this time of year, incredible place to stay and someday I may get the opportunity to get back there and enjoy the sunshine state.

Hi Donny,
