Tony, that lovely lady is a dear friend, and a wonderful performer. She and her husband have an Irish act, and she also does a 40s thing with a small combo.

UPDATE:
Be careful what you wish for!

I showed up for work on Wednesday to find the sign empty, the place dark, traffic cones in the driveway, and a chain on the door. I called the manager/owner of the biz and asked "is there something you forgot to tell me?" and he said the property owner and he ran into a snag in negotiations (to buy the place), and he (prop owner) locked him (business owner) out! My nights had been pretty good for 7-8 months, but I think they were slow overall ... if I had to guess, he wasn't making the rent ... or maybe did something stupid.

Sooooo ..... in my ever "glass half fulliness" way - I now have Wednesdays off! YAY. Summer will now be a six night stand for the season, and I can do that in my sleep. Funny, how these things happen.

Sorry to hear that Dave. Would’ve been nice had he given you a heads up. Had that happen all the time in the jingle biz. We’d do the work...invite the client in for the sing. After the session...client announces his a/c went down. Can’t afford the jingle. Still burns my ass.

Dang! 6 nights is a bit much? I enjoy the 20 - 30 monthly 1 hour gigs. Even with that small load, I find it hard to do everything else on my plate.

So, I added another exciting venue - jazz piano theory at MSU. I start May 5th. Gearing up to play straight piano down the road. I have a great jazz professor who is going to show me the ropes. I have enough supplemental material to last a lifetime.

Bottom line..... keep on keeping.
