Dunno whether it's 'cause of the increased quality of the Live Entertainment, but there was bunch of actual Humans at the waterin' hole lass night.

The cool part? More Triumphs in the lot than Harleys. Only two of hte latter, but we had a vintage 750 Bonneville, 675 Daytona, Bonnie black and 955 Sprint, as well as a few Triumph riders who showed up in cages (two of whom happen to own early-'70s Daytona 500s which were, apparently, too busy leaking oil to attend).

The bummer? It was a beautiful clear night, temp in the low 60s, an' I was stuck innee cage on accounta havin' to haul gear.

That's cool.

If I remember correctly, you said this would be your first solo gig in awhile.

How did it go??? (The you up on stage by yourself part.)

Being that you were solo, did it remind of the days when you were a male entertainer/dancer?

That was before the operation though, right Bucket?

Yeah, it was the first time out by myself in about six years. A whole 'nother animal from playin' in the band. Cool thing was, one of the RAT guys plays in a local blues band and he got up and played some tunes with me. And a guy from work here showed up and brought his ol' Les Paul. Both excellent pickers.

It was a good night, even had folks dancin' once they got drunk enough. Fortunately, the ones on two wheels were not the drunk ones.

No Free Bird (I charge a $40 fee for that one). They got Simple Man and Sweet Home Alabama instead.
