I'm playing a country club in east Plano this year. It only pays $200 each, but it beats staying home like I had to last year after my surgery and resultant staph infection.

I'll be at the Rest Stop Tavern in beautiful Lebanon, Tn like I have been the last three years playing a 71 Emmons p/p with tone to die for. It's a $15.00 cover for singles and $25.00 for couples. You can bring your own booze and they'll sell you beer or set-ups. They have the biggest burgers you ever saw too. It's a clean Honky-Tonk with lots of dancers and country music.

My band (The Legends) will be playing at the Woodmen of the World lodge in Hampton, Virginia. The money's good ($300.00) each but there's no smoking or drinking at this place. They do dance a lot though, so that makes it pretty good. It's the same money as last year but we played at the White Tail Nudist Park which was very interesting. I sure wish we were playing there again this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JH

Sitting at home with my lovely wife.
First time in many years I've not worked a new years eve.
All this talk about money ,the palace here pays scale just like any other night for it[$65.00]while all the other clubs at least pay double. So staying home for a change don't seem that bad.
I think for me staying home will have it's advantages.

Joe-I havn't played On New Year's Eve for 10 years. It is too crazy out there, but I've played about 50 of em..Happy New Year...al

Eric West · Post by **Eric West** » 30 Dec 2002 9:50 pm

Playing with Southern Breakdown at Yazzi's in Fairview OR. First played with them about 10 years ago on a NYE, and a couple NYs in between. Seems like a good time to recount the years, and remember " our absent brothers". Besides making a Hundred Fifty Bucks... Other possibilities meant driving too far on a bad weather nite.

Happy New Year.

Here's hoping we see another.
