When does a gig, stop being a ‘gig’, and becomes an event? When you play a great golf course lounge. That’s what I did twice in late October at the world renowned ‘Glen Abbey Golf Course’, where I played in their beautiful Eighteen Lounge and Restaurant to professional golfers and exclusive club members. While bar mitzvah, weddings were going on in the hall beside me, I was doing every hit from 1961 to around 1988 to appease every demographic present while they ate their dinner, or sipped their martinis. A common sign language occurrence would happen as I would get a ‘thumbs up’, ‘head nod’, ‘eye blink’ from patrons as they listened. As I’d perform, I’d also stare out of a large window, which had a fantastic view of the golf course, and a ‘RBC Canadian Open’ sign, it was a pretty mind-blowing. Four!
