Well even though it wasn't my original intent, I got considered in with all the karaoke singers in the talent portion of the holiday festivities.

Go figure, I won $500 and two round trip tickets anywhere in the US.
Congrats. And that's better than regular gig pay 8) .

I think I'll use one for next years Riverside Jam and the other I don't know.

I guess this means that you are NOT hosting RJ2K6... I wonder where it will be.

Oh, and how was the playing portion of your evening? Did your new arrangements work as you hoped?

Thanks all and it did go pretty well, I had one minor glitch on I'll be around when the audience started standing, singing and clapping along at a tempo not my choosing. So I just sang accapela for a couple of lines until I got with them.

Minneapolis is looking like a good bet. Big river there, I hear... :wink:

Will know more when I have a chance to break things down with Jose between Christmas and New Year's.

Oh and, Nick, way to go, sir! Definitely pays better than most regular gigs!

Peace
