Wishing Everyone a wonderful New Year in 2026!

Many of you know that I played New Years Eve gigs for many years - 40 years, to be exact. Bars until 5:00 a.m. back in the 80s...military bases...a Chinese restaurant (Twice!)...a Mexican restaurant (done at 11:00 p.m)... Elks Clubs......private parties... senior villages... 

I've heard thousands of noisemakers, heard thousands of drunken revelers trying to sing "Auld Lang Syne" and  hugged thousands of  strangers at midnight. I didn't miss a thing...except for those few nights I can't remember a thing! (ahem...)

These days I stay at home with my loving wife and go to bed long before the ball drops. If I'm up at midnight it's probably because I have to pee!

See you in 2026!
