OK maybe later

Well, didnt get video made...hard to get all four band members together on a friday night. maybe saturday.

The Christmas Parade is tommorrow in Hutchinson...seems like it gets earlier every year. I have chosen not to play on the municipal band float because we always sit there for 30 minutes in 20 degree weather and freeze while scads of other people and floats go before us. I am protesting this treatment of the band...but in reality, the parade for the drum section is one long cadence. we play cadences between songs, then play the songs. It is about a 30 minute drumathon and it is quite painful by the end.

Got a big band gig tommorrow night. I play jazz keyboard with this band which is run by some of hutch's best musicians. It is a fun gig, but you have to wear a tux..and you only make $50.
my normal fee for even considering wearing a tux is $100, but it is for a charitable cause.

Got my pan back from CA. it is very nice, thanks to tuner David Berry. check his sight..sometime www.smartypansmusic.com

Keep those comments and suggestions coming, it is fun.
