Convention 2003

[Gordon Holley]

Oh yes, and Polish, Italian, Jewish and Greek.  Ya know, 6/8, 3/4, 
5/4, and if'n I ain't got it in the books, I find it and write an 
arrangement.  Last year we did an Irish gig (hired to young girls, 
violins, guitar, tin whistle and vocals to enhance my 7 pcs band; one 
Jewish and one Greek, (added a trumpet man on these to go with two 
reed men). My bass man also plays the trombone and the guitar man can 
double on bass, so that makes for some nice combinations. I'm the 
keyboard man also with a syn and controller on a vocalizer for 4 part 
harmony; backup, Four Freshmen, Oak Ridge Boys, and other patches.  
Now you better have some roadies come in and help pack up and load 
the equipment after 4 hours on one of these jobs, 'cause your a__ __ 
will be draggin'.  A rack with 3 amps, sound module for the Rhodes 
MK80 piano, mixer, etc. Four speaker combinations going out front, 
and 6 hot spots for monitors, 5 mic stands (everybody sings) and the 
drummer and I wear Crown headworn pics. But then it's fun and in four 
hours as leader that's about 4 separate piano tuning appointments, 
and no 1098, ya know.  Capish? 
Gordon Holley.
