So, when do The Eagles play? Nice work.

------------------------------------------

Believe it or not my son looked into having the Eagles perform at a
private get together we had about 10 years ago. He contacted their
booking agency who said that if they happened to be touring in our
general area, it was possible to hire them (if they thought it was
interesting). They were scheduled to perform in Providence, RI
around the time we were having the event, so my son took it to the
next step. I've forgotten exactly what the fee was but it was well
over $100 grand plus transportation, equipment and other specific
requirements ... all for about a one hour performance. It would
have been a blast but we decided to set up a PA system and play CDs
instead.

I have worked out an arrangement with a local guy who owns the largest
backstage equipment rental company in New England. He supplies
instruments, sound systems, lights, Hammond B3s and other equipment to
major touring bands when they are in the Boston area. He also
supplies equipment and gear for the Comcast Center, Wang Center and
other major venues. He told me that he is often asked for
recommendations for small performance venues in the area for
rehearsals and photo/video shoots for advertising. There are a couple
of places in Boston and one in central MA that they use for these
purposes but there is nothing on the south shore where we are. He's
going to start including us in his recommendations and will supply any
equipment needed. I've been to his office a few times. His walls
are lined with pictures of him with musicians including James Taylor,
Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, B.B. King, Willie Nelson and many others
who he has rented sound and instruments to over the years. There are
two venues in our area, one in Cohasset (South Shore Music Circus)
and another near Hyannis on the Cape that book major performers during
the summer months. Our place would be ideal for them. So, we'll
see who we get to meet.
