When you make music for a living it's great to have cool places play that love to have you play that you love. Benders is one of those places. You'd never know it looking at the outside... just a simple brick house on Highway 67 converted to a Bar/Tavern. But inside it screams local bar. Full of folks who know your name and like being around you. Last night was really something. Tons of fans... and I mean fans. They were applauding from the end of the first song until the 3rd encore. Many times a bar gig is just music over top of the noise... but not last night. It was as the owner said, a full fledged by-God concert. What an honor. I received 4 requests for songs last night and every single one of them was for one of my original tunes. After the last encore I ended up standing up there signing CDs for another 30 minutes... but what a rush and ego booster. Wow! I smelled like smoke when I was driving home and I was wore out... I played for 3 1/2 hours without even a pause between songs... but I was content. Nights like last night are the "music crack" that musicians live for. Thanks guys. Can't wait to see you again soon.
