That's pretty much what I do now. I just did a Christmas show near where I live. About 200 people there and we sang Christmas songs together outside in the cold. I had a great time and will more than likely do it again next year.
Nice! Except I have a giant venue that'll pretty much let me do anything I damned well please. I've spoken with the owner a bit and they're onboard with it. My band plays there often - even when I'm not around. So, pulling in an extra 20 to 30 musicians for a weekend isn't something they're going to turn down. They know damned well that they'll do well financially by allowing it.
I kinda picture something like how The Band went down. Something like, The Last Waltz.
That would be awesome ,some day I'd like to do the same. A mini Woodstock, with a bunch of musicians and groups playing. As dead as the music scene is around here I'd have more pepole than there would be time for.
Yeah, I also live nowhere near where I did most of my performing - so it'd mean people flying and driving in for the event. That's why I figure it should be a full weekend, probably buffered on either side with merrymaking and fun.
