Music Biz: So far, so good, settling into a busy upcoming several weeks. Last night the duo performed at a pleasant outdoor banquet for a Colorado-based company celebrating at the Ritz Carlton Lodge on Lake Oconee. The jazz trio played the previous night at a sophisticated affair for Charles Schwab in the Atlanta Botanical Gardens, and tonight, Friday, DC3 provides live jazz for a very classy wedding reception at the Savannah Hall in the Four Seasons Atlanta Hotel.
This weekend is a Saturday job with Moxie at the Atlanta Ritz Carlton. Sunday starts in the early AM with the Six Gap Century beginning in Dahlonega, GA (it's not music-related, but will try to fit into the schedule somehow).
Next Monday DC3 will be back at the Ritz Oconee again. Then the duo returns for the usual Tue-Wed-Thu at Violette. The highlight of the upcoming week is a Friday night duo performance at a 60th birthday party. We will be joined by my former long-time musical partner, Octavia Jones, as we celebrate in the new home of Doctor John. Octavia and I had played at John's 40th birthday celebration and it's a wonder he survived that! This time Mack & I will be setup alongside a 40-foot koi pond in a wing of the new mansion in Vinnings, GA. I'll try to get some photos of this dude's crib, I'm sure that it's unbelievable.
Next Saturday I wrap up the week playing at a reception with Susan Taylor & the Paragons at the historic Payne-Corley House in Norcross, GA.
