It was a jam night. Me and the woman I consider a sister were there with me. The part of a gospel family I mentioned before was there and ran the jam nights. The music was great, it was already like getting to see an all star show for free.You never knew who was going to come in, but it was usually someone local and unknown. Te bar was pretty damn empty, I guess that is what makes this night a little more special.
There is this woman that I have never seen before or since with a guy to dressed up to be walking into this place. Next thing I know word gets around that she used to sing with Bob Seger’s band. He is a chump compared to her. Someone talked her into signing something. They hit the stage. Me and my sister were at the closest table to the cutout, if I remember right we actually moved it closer. Had beers in hands, then we hear a voice so powerful and beautiful it can bring someone to tears. I know her tickets were going for around $30.00 a pop a few years back. I am guessing they are still that expensive.
This is the brighter side of those old days
