DUCA - Go Bank With Them.......

Tomorrow I have the priviledge of playing for the DUCA Financial Services Christmas dinner. I'm very excited about this for a number of reasons. The man who hired me is now the CEO of DUCA. It was with him that over 20 years ago that I first ever played in public on my bass. He was on guitar.

I will run into some people who work there that I have not seen in some time. I believe a long time friend of my brother works in the head office in the marketing department, as well as the many tellers that I deal with just by banking with them, or that I know who work in other branches. It will be nice to catch up and see what they're up to.

Accompanying me on drums will be one of my best friends. We have not played together since we were at Humber College where she held it down for my final recital and recordings that were done there. It is so nice to be playing with people I love and consider part of my family.

Also accompanying me will be another good friend of mine. We have served in the trenches together when no one else would, and though the battles and frustrations have taken it's toll, we're still standing and respresenting, and still playing.

My "trio" is named the Randall Hall Collective because that's what playing music is. We all have families, and lives to attend to so we all can't make every gig. Some days it can be a trio, other days a quartet. This way pieces can be moved in and out as needed and it's all part of the same team.

Have a great weekend and see you Monday.
