Monday 12/14 was the big gig for the hospital trio. Wally, Wiley and Matt. I played my upright electric bass and used a chorus effect some for the big smooth jazz sound.
The urb is like Jaco on steroids. The chicken wings were really good.
Tuesday 12/15 I played a Christmas party at Nobels Resturant in W.S. They closed the place down for these people. Very loud and great food. I had Salmon and Cream of Tomato Soup. It was a trio, piano,bass and drums. Karen, my wife on piano and John Wilson on drums.
Wednesday 12/16 was an old folks home in Greensboro in the morning. They had a good time with the quartet of piano,bass, drums and sax. We played White Christmas twice and the same guy was still asking for it. That night I played at Knollwood Baptist Church with 2 guitars and drums. It was their Jazz Christmas dinner. Greg Hyslop sounded great on guitar as did Ken Wilson. Bill Poole did a fine job on drums.
Thursday finished things up for this very busy Holiday Season. I played a hospital up in Reidsville with the Hospital trio. That evening I played for the Urban League's Holiday
party with John on drums and Wiley Porter on guitar. The gigs were all Christmas all the time.
Merry F'in Christmas.
