The only bad thing about performing is that, at some point in the evening, you have to leave the stage. Most gigs leave me wanting more, and forget about encores-they're contrivances and pure ego in most situations. New Year's Eve at the Garden Club on Marrowstone Island was a very good night with dancing and of course, music. The crowd was a little grayer than last year but every bit as energetic and festive.
Home for Winter Break, the young people turned out at the Junction the Sunday before, braving a very icy parking lot (where is a bull dozer when you need one?). Live music is best!
