Another great night, that I just feel lucky to have experienced.

Dinner (stuffed mushrooms with spinach and goat cheese and a cheese and olive plate) and spanish guitar at Katerina's. Everyone there is so friendly and awesome. Watched some flamenco dancing before we left to head over to Betty's Blue Star Lounge for rockabilly music.

Every Weds Rockin' Billy & The Wild Coyotes play. Great house band. Rockin' Billy is just a regular guy at the bar when you see him, but when he puts on his cowboy hat and straps on his guitar on stage he has such a presence. Great guitarist and just really love the energy he has with his bassist and drummer. The bassist is another really great guy to watch up there. Also 40th Century man opened last night, a band I been meaning to check out. Reminds me of the days back in Ohio and listening to Scrawl. A rougher sound, female vocals, a little punkness to it.

BUT

the thing that was so amazing about last night, and I felt so lucky to be in on and get to see was rockabilly legends Dale Hawkins & Hayden Thompson. They performed with Rockin' Billy. No rehearsals and they sounded GREAT!!! These guys are up there and really been around, but when they get on stage they just fucking POP!! I mean the voices are so booming and such energy comes out of them when they perform it was really amazing. The whole thing wasn't on the club calender or advertised, I found out about it thru another band on MySpace. Man those guys were good.

As we left with glazed smiles on our faces listening to french pop in my car, we stopped in at Steetside for some hot fresh cut fries before passing out in bed.

Perfect evening.
