I'll be with my band "Country Junction" at American Legion Post #29 in Russellville, KY playing from 8:30pm till 12:30am. They serve a big gourmet breakfast after the Dance! They like them 4/4 shuffles. . . .tonight we'll do a bunch of Ray Price, Johnny Bush, Paycheck, Haggard, and lots of other good stuff. Sounds like my kinda night. Happy New Year everybody.

My band didn't have a gig, so we decided to throw our own party.

| Johnsons in NY state right near Seneca Lake.. $200 a man. good food... nice babes!... Mostly rock guitar tho"... I get to play my battered MSA on MAYBE 5 or 6 tunes...... ***sniff**** Kind of the same type situation Todd goes through... when you play lead guitar and steel,believe it or not the 6 string usually wins ... bob [This message was edited by Bob Carlucci on 01 January 2004 at 01:10 AM.] [This message was edited by Bob Carlucci on 01 January 2004 at 01:11 AM.] |

Played new years eve,with my band "The Roadhouse Kings", 9-12:30 in the community center at an up scale mobile home park...played old country with a few old rock tunes. (1/2 the night on steel, the rest on my Strat)...great crowd, good food
$150 per man, no smoke in the bldg.
Fun night, we may take them up on the offer for next year even though we usually ask for more for new years eve...the room required us to keep the volume under control..what a treat! [This message was edited by Jack Francis on 01 January 2004 at 01:49 AM.] |

Happy New Year everybody!

Earnest - I think we'd be close on the money, but the food issue is a deal-breaker....
I had the most miserable NYE gig ever - I was sitting between TWO keyboard players who couldn't (apparently) agree on the 'changes' to any of the standards that we played. I wish I had a recording of their 'Embraceable You' - it defied description! I mostly laid out - a third set of options would only have made it sound worse....
'04 can only improve for me!

Played American Legend Manassas, Virginia. Great food, and a lot of shuffles. Lots of guest, Billy Cooper and wife Wanda, Rudy Gabreletto and many people from the Old Hunter‘s Lodge days in Fairfax, VA where we all spent many years playing. Thought we were underpaid at $250 per man. It's Always a pleasure to play with my good friends Buddy Charleton on Steel, Warren Blair on Fiddle, Cliff Martin on drums, Allan Burell on Lead, me on Bass and Vocal and my brother Sam Vocal. By the way we do ET Blues for a break song. Love the way Buddy plays that song.

Of course I didn't play for New Years Eve, as usual in recent years, but; I did spend the evening working on my new DEMO-Tape. I managed to do 4 of the 12 instrumentals that I have planned for my new project for 2004. BTW; That new project is just that! 12 DEMO-Instrumentals on my Non-Pedal Steel! You ask, “Who is it for?” }Well,just ME, I guess!{ “BJ”
