It was an absolute pleasure to be a part of this lovely couples 50th Anniversary celebration. 125 family members and friends were on hand to wish the couple well. I played a selection of hits from all five decades of their marriage including "their" song "Nobody Does It Better (from The Spy Who Loved Me)" - Carly Simon.
I was able to broadcast live from the Hotel Syracuse using the Local TPG wireless I found downtown at the 50th Birthday party last month at Pannini's.
The Hotel Syracuse sure isn't what it used to be. When I arrived the place was hot and smelled musty. Eventually the maintenance guy arrived and got the AC cranking and by the start of the party the room was cool and the smell had gone. Sad that such an historic building was allowed to deteriorate to it's present state. We were in the Persian Terrace which used to be gorgeous and still retains much of its charm. The catering at the Hotel is run by Pascale's and they are ALWAYS top notch.
Not alot of dancing but there was some. The average age of the crowd was easily 65 and it was late afternoon. All in all though I received numerous compliments and Maureen (my client, one of the couples daughters) was very pleased. Nice tip for a Sunday gig!
