Just got finished moving another 11 inches of snow from 300 feet of driveway and a 160-foot sidewalk--I'm gettin' too old for this stuff!

Also just got a call from Donny Pesce and he's battling the worst Noreaster snow storm in more than a decade. They'll probably cancel his job for tonight, but mine is still on and I'll be sitting behind the concert grand tonight plinking on the 2000.

Just another fun day in Paradise,

Gary

(Damned if Key West isn't looking better every day!)

Gary..I should be so lucky.....Nope... my Dinner Dance Xmas GIG is on tonight and I have to Trek Through the Blizzard to get there...
My client called and won't cancel because then they would have to Pay the Caterer & Me In Full....so it'll be just another night in paradise. How many of the 350 tickets sold will actully show up due to the weather is another story?

It's cold in Louisiana too. May get to freezing tonight. And the high tomorrow only in the 60's. Wind is gusting to about three mph. BRRRRR.
I have an outdoor job at a car race track tomorrow. Maybe they'll cancel!

So does this mean you won't be playing "Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!" tonight?

It's December the 8th and we have no snow yet in Michigan. I'm dreaming of a GREEN Christmas!

You really know how to hurt an old man's feelings Tom! That's OK--Mother Nature will have a shot at your part of the world soon enough.

Cheers,

Gary

Actually Tom, the weather's been quite delightful. Why go south everyone; move to Michigan. We already have a mitten.

Cass - just south of Detroit off I-75

Are you anywhere around Southgate? I moved from there about 10 years ago to Florida. Best move I ever made.

Trevorjohn...
The windy (hurricane) season is over for this year. What we do have in Florida right now is a lot of Yankees (NE USA mostly), mild temperatures and a few Indian casinos.

Eddie - Just another day with a pair of dice.

There's some strange sh*t happening with the weather in general, Up here in Canuckle-Head land, it should be colder than a whore's heart, but it ain't. 'Course. I'm not complaining....uh oh..gotta go, my grass needs cutting again.

Our winter may be over here. It was 69 today. Bad news is there's a small chance of rain tomorrow. Oh well. . .

The gig went great, the tip jar was filled in less than two hours with ones and fives, the owner kept telling me that I did an incredible job, the waitress's said they loved the music, and the owner said he would call me later this week and let me know of his decission. Bottom line is I really don't know if I got the job or not, so keep your fingers crossed.

The irony of it all is while I was there a couple folks picked up some of my business cards from the bar's cardholder and I just booked two jobs for private parties from that night at the restaurant. It's a crazy business, but I'm enjoying every minute of it.

Cheers from an old man,

Gary

. way to go Gary .... We KNEW you'd be a hit ... That feeling is why most of us do what we do ...
Just happened to see Sting get an award on yet another music award show ... He said that the one thing he's learned in all his years is that "the music is it's own reward..." .. Amen!!! .....

PS If you don't get the gig, THEY'RE wrong !
