New opportunities on the way!!

I played in the backing band for the Jewish Community Center fund raiser 'Viva Oy Vegas' this year, the theme was the '80s, so I got dressed up in appropriately gaudy attire and played some '80s tunes. The drummer, Marty, is working with a new project that includes himself, a lead guitar player and two younger guys who play and sing guitar. The project needed a bass player and Marty asked me if I'd be interested, I said yes. The group has already done an audition for one of Las Vegas' biggest agents, and are lined up to play at Harrah's Carnival court, a great outside bar/club right on the Strip!! It gets better, though, if the entertainment director is pleased, there will be week long engagements at the venue, along with the opportunity to play other venues that the agent books for (there are two main agents in Vegas, this one books for Fremont stree experience which is downtown by all the old casinos, and many strip properties). We have our song list and did our first rehearsal last night. All in all I think we will be more than ready by the May 1 and 2 gigs at Harrah's, and from there the sky is the limit!! I will have to do a lot of figuring with my schedule to see how everything is going to go, but I am really excited about this opportunity!!
