Debut

Friday night we went to the Spot for Benny's retirement party and Cinco de Mayo. We hadn't seen Benny and Renee for ages and it was great to receive the party invite in the mail last week. Benny worked for 35 years at the same place and never missed a day for the final 28 years! He and Renee will be going on a long road trip to visit Nebraska, down to Texas, across to California and then up the coast, stopping in Vegas of course.

Well, last night, Saturday night, the Hoodoo Hounds made their debut. Here is the video. They were better than I was expecting and drew in quite a crowd. The bar staff seemed very happy. They played 3 sets, stopping at just before midnight when the bar closed. Unfortunately Andrew was tucked way back in the corner and so it was difficult to see him. With 6 guys in the band, it looked a little cramped on stage. But the sound was great and people were dancing, and that is all that matters. Our neighbors Matt and Angie, and Chip and Jenni came to show their support, it was nice to see them. We had mentioned the show to Stu from the Spot, but he didn't make it. Andrew is hoping that the Hounds can play at the Spot at some point. Also Pitchers on the lake is another possibility.
