what are you doing new years eve

so i stumbled across something pretty sweet that i need to share with you. if you like music at all, you should definitely check out this video with diana krall singing 'what are you doing new years eve' accompanied by the clayton/hamiton jazz orchestra. great singing, absolutely beautiful orchestration. here's the link: http://www.vervemusicgroup.com/player.aspx?fid=1365&ftyp=3&pgid=6&hid=2701&pl=72&fp=wmp. enjoy!

so here's my plan for the break...

• dec. 24 playing a gig in hastings, mn then home for christmas


• dec. 31 playing a gig in menomonie, wi then to eau claire for new years


• jan. 1-9 hanging in eau claire, practicing, working on my cabaret set


• jan. 10-15 in new york city for the iaje convention


• jan. 15-whenver, cabaret rehearsals and performances

time off mixed in with some gigs and a trip to new york. doesn't get much better than that as far as breaks are concerned. hopefully some of you will be around for some lunch dates and some much needed hanging out time. don't ever hesitate to call because i won't hesitate to call you back.

merry new years, happy christmas, shalom, peace, and everything else,
james
