Speaking of antiquities - old New Year's Eve set list

[veinbuster]

This was one of the bands I played with in the 70s. We played in the hockey rink which was set up for 1,000 couples. About 2/3 of them were very sick the next day because one of the caterers wasn't able to keep that much food fresh.
We didn't know each other at the time, but this was the first time my wife heard me play. 13 months later she heard me again (Ice Capades pit band). 3rd time was the charm - must have been the rock and roll.

Anyway: New Year Eve songs

This was a pretty big event, so it stayed in the case for...40+ years. I had also kept the set list from when I play the CNE (Canadian National Exhibition) with the same band earlier in the year.

Awesome story. I love “how I met my wife” and similar stories. Happy New Year all!

Love Stardust! Mitchell Parish was the Uncle of Steve Parish, longtime roadie for the Grateful Dead.

Great list and memories thanks for sharing this!

That is quite the setlist and cool story!!

Pretty cool mix, pretty much remember them all from that timeline. Not sure if that's good or bad haha.
The old story about the players in the band get the girls appears to hold water! But I was busy playing hockey back then. Might as well have been hunting for 4 leaf clovers...
