Havin' F-U-N at the 'Creek

Hey everybody, how's it goin'? Well we had an excellent time this past weekend at the 'Creek (Turtle Creek Saloon) and if you were there, you saw one hell-of-a show!! The crowd was amazing and also in the mood to do some singing. Friday night was awesome; we got some of our buddies to come on down and help us out.
We had our pal Al from Goodridge, MN playing lead guitar for yours truly Friday night while I was busy with work stuff. He played great and I talked to a bunch of folks that said the band sounded just fine without me...wonder what that was supposed to mean (LOL). I got there just after 11 pm and it was wall-to-wall in the place, parking lot was full and we had our fans from the Twin Cities make the drive up again. The weather left something to be desired but inside it was red-hot. I jumped up on stage at about 11:30 and we kicked right into our fav Keith Urban song; it seemed as though the energy level kept rising and we just let the crowd have it, musically. When we were done on Fri. night everyone was wrecked and ready to just chill out back at our friend's house. We had Norm Dakota fill in on bass and he fit right in with this bunch of drunken barbarians. We've known him since we were too young to play in the bars and had talked to him this summer about if he was ever interested in filling in if we needed somebody. That worked out to our favor because he can sing, play bass, lead guitar and interact with the crowd. Ol' Norm filled in the whole weekend and Sat. night sounded even better. Another great crowd and it got wall-to-wall again after 11:30 pm...couldn't even get a drink at the bar and the crowd wanted more. On one of our set breaks Chris, our drummer, led some lovely ladies in an impromptu session of the "Chicken Dance" to some song I can't really remember but it was FUNNY and really got the crowd going. I've never laughed so hard and had so much fun at a gig in long time and I want to thank Chris for that and thank the crowd for coming on out and ROCK-in HEAVY again. It felt good to be "back home again" and hopefully it won't be too long before the next time. We are on vacation this weekend to spend Christmastime with our family & friends...Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Whiskey Johnson!!!!!! See you guys at the Firehouse New Years' Weekend!!!!!
