Most people think that I play whatever I want all night when I do a gig which is about as far from the truth as it gets. That being said there are two records I give myself at any nightclub gig. One is the record I play for myself. I usually play it toward the end of the night and it is a record I like and don’t care whether or not the crowd does. The other is my one executive veto. As popular as a song may be, if I just absolutely hate it I don’t play it. Mind you, I only get one veto per night, so if there are two currently popular records I detest, I have to choose which one gets the ax and play the other. I’ll cover the my top ten “play for myself” and “veto” records in another post…
