Members mrmatt64 Posted December 20, 2007 Members Share Posted December 20, 2007 After many years of not giggin' on New years Eve (after playing 10 straight from '89 until '99), I have my first New Year's Eve gig in quite a while. I swore them off, but this one is a party thrown by a local musician (who makes tons of $$) and he hired my band 3 Amigo's to play. A great thing about it (besides the cash) is that he lives about 1/4 mile away from me. I love no pressure gigs!! Mr. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jackcheez Posted December 20, 2007 Members Share Posted December 20, 2007 We're playing close to home this year too. The last two years we played out of town on New Years and stayed over. This will be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Givati Posted December 20, 2007 Members Share Posted December 20, 2007 No Dangit! A fine time for our band to have to start over. We lost our sax guy and fired our singer. I have never played a New Years gig. Well, only at church. That doesn't count in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mrmatt64 Posted December 20, 2007 Author Members Share Posted December 20, 2007 I have never played a New Years gig. They can be quite the hassle at times. Sometimes not worth the pay/extra benefits....... Mr. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Givati Posted December 20, 2007 Members Share Posted December 20, 2007 They can be quite the hassle at times. Sometimes not worth the pay/extra benefits....... Mr. Matt I guess because I have never done one I'd like to try one. You know, you don't know what to hate until you try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, you don't know what to hate until you try it. Yeah, just trying to make you feel better a little. To be fair, I've also had some of the best times on my New Year's Eve gigs back in the 90's. Give you something to look forward to perhaps next year....good luck!

Members no-logic Posted December 20, 2007 Members Share Posted December 20, 2007 We're playing at our "home base" club....The Waterfront. We are scheduled to play 8-midnight for $500 and will play later for another $100 an hour. We're digging up a bunch of old songs to fill in if we play later. I'm staying at our drummers house about 100 yards away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
