Our Tuesday night Jazz jam gig is going really well, building every week as the word gets out. The owners are very happy and it’s a really nice venue to play in, with a simple load in and load out, parking only 20 feet from the stage.
I’ve been playing with two amazing guys, both in their 50s. Chad, Michaels, on piano, has previously played for Celine Dion and others. The drummer, Phoenix Rivera plays lots of instruments, and has performed with Tito Puente, among others. These two guys together are amazing. What’s more amazing is how they complimented me at the end of the gig, very praising and appreciative.

We do well on tips, Dave.
The pay is actually above the norm so no raise is the reality. We get paid in enjoyment. Last night we had a top pro sit in on sax and piano, played all night.
