ELKS CLUB - APRIL 21, 2007

And I thought it was going to be a slower night . . .  It’s unusual to see empty tables when we play the Elks, thought the snowbirds took a big bite out of the crowd.  So wrong, by the third song we had folks coming in and the dance floor was full.  As Bob said, we love to see the line dancers from our corner of the floor. 

Met some fellow Texans and we thank you for the words of encouragement.  You liked the new song, “Pride & Joy”, Steve did a great job on the lead.  We look forward to our return, see you in June.
