Im old enough that i remember back in the old days I had a news years Eve gig every year...often booked many months in advance.
Then the DJs took over
Then the money got thin
Then i just said no no no
I have no interest anymore in driving at 1-2am...maybe in bad weather for low$...especially if its background music...
Now if it were a concert with hip musicians...nice audience?
I would love it
Ive had a few beauties over the years
9-12...great crowd...jazz quartet , great money...
And some not so great ones...
Retirement home...8-12:30, no heat, no alcohol, worried someone would die during a song...leader only gave us three 15 minute breaks the whole night!
Oh...no food...just cheese and saltines and fruit punch
Ha ha
