Gig spam: Connelly's Pub, NYC

**Bill** · 03-05-2006, 08:25 PM

Yep, I've got myself a gig in New York City! I'll be playing some gigs around New York & Connecticut at the end of this month. One of them is a public dance, and it will be at Connelly's Pub in NYC on Saturday, April 1. I don't know the time yet, but if anybody in the area is interested in going, I'll find out for ya.

I'll be playing bass with a genuine Cajun band from New Orleans. If you've never heard this type of music before, you should give it a whirl!

I definitely agree with that Bill.

Do you guys play any Zydeco? I really like Wayne Toups and Zydecajun.

Congrat's on the gig, Bill!

I'd love to get paid to go to NYC and gig...hell, I'd do it as long as the airfare and a hotel near Times Square were covered!

Outdoor gig at Bryant Park in the summer...mmm!

Thanks, y'all! Yeah, Larry, this particular band I'm playing with does a lot of zydeco-influenced songs. It's definitely not a die-hard traditional Cajun band!

Have a blast in NYC!

Bill, was it you that played some accordian as well?

**Mobay45** · 03-06-2006, 04:43 AM

That sounds great!

Let us know if you get to Texas near the DFW area and I'll have to come hear you guys play.

**Bill** · 03-06-2006, 05:27 AM

Will do, Larry!

Chuck, yep, it's me who plays the squeezebox. Or, as some folks call it, the Cajun air compressor.

Bill - Can you let us know which Connelly's - there are several of them in NYC - Thanks

**Bill** · 03-06-2006, 07:35 AM

I'll surely try to find out.

**Moondog** · 03-06-2006, 09:50 AM

Sounds good Bill.
We'll start looking for a sitter
for the 1st

A hotel near Times Square could cost as much as the airfare.

He just needs one that you can rent by the hour.

Yeah, I stayed at the Hilton Millennium TS back in November (on the company dime), and they paid a mint for my 5 night stay!

That's why I'd do the gig for no pay...
