Band Report :)
I just got home from the Star Bar where I heard 2 very fine bands indeed :) Friends DancingDave and BootyShakinSteve came to the show too :)

The opener: The Joey Allcorn Show - a band from Columbus, they play lots of old school country - Hank, Johnny, Buck, HankIII ;) and their own stuff. But it was very cool :) Plus they had a pedal steel player!! :) I'll check them out again if they come into town again :)

The headliner: Rocket 88
From Orlando, they were quite big during the height of the swing craze in the late 90s from what I hear. But they never played Minneapolis :/ They were high energy and had highly dance-able tunes so DancingDave and I danced a bunch :) After the show we met a couple of the band members - lead singer (Michael) and lead guitar (Mark) - nice guys :) I always like to thank the bands afterward if I'm around for the end of the show, I like it and they seem to as well :) Lead singer Michael had a really great shirt on... Simple and just really cool!
I'd go see them again most definitely.
We got merch from them too! Well, paid for it, but yeah, I thought you'd all like it :)

Yay! Rocket Girl T-shirt!! :D
