Dangerfield Texas.

Man, what a great time we had at their grand opening.
Although the house band pulled out, don't know why, they were sounding good. And it was a pleasure to hear another band. Though in doing so, we had to rework the order of the three sets. Also were asked to keep the volume down till 8pm so Ray reworked the sets again.
Masterfully I might add.
I feel like we did a respectable job on the first two sets and killed on the third after the volume curfew expired. LOL (was our heaver tunes as well)
Received a nice love offering after the show and sat down to an awesome lasagna meal and fellowship after tear down.
These are genuinely nice people that really got into the show.
Was funny, a comment about "the little guy with the white guitar, heard he has some moves, y'all need to cut loose on this set"
Lights, smoke, nice stage ...
I love it !! 8)

That's awesome Sans! 3 sets? 8)

You see, younger guys these days don't seem to have enough work ethic anymore, aside from trying to look cool(if you call that work ethic). I mean, all these new bands that I've seen will do one measly set and then worry about their written guarantees. You guys bust out with 3 sets for a love offering? Man, they just don't make too many bands like that anymore.

Thanks:
We had a lot of fun. I'm still kind of high over it all.
The sets were short, seven songs per set with the scripture passages / introductions Ray has assign to each song.
A lot of clowning too as we got into the night both band and the audience.
No more gigs booked for now so were going to shift back to recording rehearsal mode.
