have a church gig at 8AM on NYD, so I need all my faculties for that.

(And no, if I take"Vitamin M",  I'll spend the evening staring at the pretty
blue spotlight and watching my bass neck turn to pudding. For me that's more
work than fun.).

I hate to be all bitch and negative (as opposed to normal???), but NYE is
the ONLY gig that still make me nervous. People pay a lot of money to have
the "party of their lives" and it needs to go off PERFECTLY. I just know
this chick is not up to the challenge, which means the guitarist and I will
have to work 5x as hard to save it.

So, how about you?

I'm playing with a Blues Brothers tribute at Win River Casino in Redding, CA. Played this room before with these guys - it promises to be fun, and lucrative.

Happy genesis of 2006!
