The few bar owners that I've worked for, would always get mad at me because I would never do Newyears(or Haloween)...Always had my own parties, and most of the time would rent a small hall....had a church hall, that didn't care what time we finished, usually 100 people or so, and always allowed children(kids like New Years too).....any way for the millineum, a fully decked swat team payed us a visit about 1a.m.....lucky for me a couple of them were friends of mine.....their only complaint, after seeing all the food we had, was they wish I had let them know I was having the party, so they could have come by earlier and ate.....it was a real compliment to have a swat team called out to my party....
......I haven't made any plans for this Newyears, I've turned down so many gigs, no one calls me anymore.....does it mean I'm getting old, when I'm happy when the phone doesn't ring.....
