Mac Park was our prime time second show closer and we did it instrumentally. The band leader was a very good pianist and he basically did a Rachmaninoff on it. He was all over it doing big complex two handed flourishes with it and I backed him up on B3. The rest of the band was standard guitar, bass, drums and sometimes two horns and other times no horns.

We routinely got standing O's for that. Our agent told us we were the only group in his stable that did an instrumental for a closing piece. And yes the whole thing was charted out, as was most of the show for that matter. The leader wrote out the scores and I wrote out the individual parts. This was all for rehearsal only, for the performance it was all memorized.

Damn, as I'm writing this I remember again how much I really dislike gigs with no rehearsals and stuff is sloppy but it's still fun. I guess.
