Mid January, 2011 updates

Just a few quick updates:

I have taken a sub for two of my normal Wednesday gigs on 1/12 and 1/26 at The Earle (Thanks Patrick Whitehead!) as I have been received calls to do two jobs with the Simcha Mann band, out of Cleveland, at the Hyatt regency in Dearborn. Also on the job Mark Kieme on sax and veteran Detroit Bass player, Gary Leach.

So far this month gigs have gone real well (check previous post):

The Meadowbrook Hall gig with Cliff Monear and George Bennett will go down in our personal history books as one of the most fun ever...!

My regular trio played an extra night last Thursday at Mercy's, it was restaurant week and the owner (Thanks, Steve!) wanted something extra special for the guests.

Last night Freelance rocked the Lakepointe Yacht Club with many new tunes (Not the least "I kissed A Girl"...!). Since I have been breaking lots of strings lately (I never break strings), I have decided to take a backup guitar, A Strat I made out of two: Body, neck and hardware from my 2004 Mexican Strat with the electronics from my 1995 Strat Plus. Didn't need it...

New update coming early February.
