Notes, I see where we have the same philosophy when it comes to playing out. I did the same but in a wedding band. We saw an opening in the wedding band field and filled that void causing us to have gigs every weekend and sometimes 3 times in a week. They were happy and we were happy.

" We play songs we know they like, tell jokes, have running gags, and generally just make a party atmosphere."

That is exactly how to stay in business.

It's interesting in that we were offered a gig on a couples yacht here on Lake Ontario.

PS - The little girl who was making eyes at me when I was on stage in high school has been my wife for 52, soon to be 53 years.
