Here was my 'scaled back' 2006 schedule...

** A NOTE ABOUT THE SUMMER OF 2006...

I was determined to enjoy this summer... more family time, more golf, biking, tennis, etc... Instead, I managed to golf twice and spent the rest of the time (mid-June to mid-September) fighting a battle for a mortgage!! If anyone reading this is considering going through Wells Fargo Mortgage RUN SCREAMING THE OTHER WAY!!!

They approved me almost immediately then yanked me around for weeks and weeks - only moving on anything when the seller's attorney pushed for information or action... Then they eventually called (one of the few times they actually contacted me) to say they "couldn't find a mortgage product that would work for me" - primarily, I've come to believe, because they and their attorney are pretty much clueless!!! Several sources have said that my small home loan was too little to merit any real effort and I've heard nothing good about them from anyone else I've related the whole story to so avoid Wells Fargo at all costs!!

Enter Michael Bates and GMAC Mortgage in Latham, NY (http://www.gmacm.net/ny/albany)...

I've had a couple car loans through GMAC and when I started looking for another potential lender I stumbled on GMAC Mortgage. Mr. Bates and company could not have been more helpful, pleasant and encouraging!! They knew just what needed to be done, what questions to ask, what information to get and where to get it!! They got the deal done and my family and I are in our new home!!!

Now to my 2006 gigs...

I'm always grabbing fill-in gigs at the last minute so check back often if you're interested... and I'm sure my 'next big thing' will come along soon enough and I'll be committed to a project full time again!!

Also, 2006 marked my 8th and last summer with 'Red River Randy & His Saddle Sores' at Rydin Hi Ranch Resort on Sherman Lake in Warrensburg, NY...

It's been a great run but has become 'a job' (musicians will know what that means)... starting with the loss of the group's leader the first week of the summer...

He had been trying to negotiate a little boost in not just 'The Saddle Sores' but all of the band's pay but management insisted on paying the performers the same rate they've been getting since the 70's and refused even gas money as prices went over $3 / gallon (many of the musicians were driving over an hour just to get there). When the owners commented that they 'could replace every band with a duo and the guests would never know' that was it for the band leader.

For myself it had as much to do with the beat up dirt road I had to navigate each night up and down the mountain as anything... this past summer was the absolute worst it had been and there seemed to be no effort to maintain it at all so it was taking a toll on everyone's vehicle - even at very low speeds... So between gas, repairs and an overall lack of enjoyment the time had come to move on...
