Lucky You

(Laughing!) No, I am not trying to start something, nor am I declaring my readers to be lucky to be gazing upon these words. Lucky You is a band out of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania that played at the Casino last night. One of the perks ( or annoyances depending on the band) of my job is that every Friday and Saturday night I am posted at the new lounge. Standing on the sidelines I am one of the team in blue for security, there to stop trouble before it starts..yes that means folks who have had enough alcohol.

Sometimes we get our eardrums assaulted, sometimes we get to smile over what passes for dancing for some people. ( I know I saw an Elvis Costello wanna be last night..who appeared to be doing what a 5 year old does with a broom, pretending it is a horse and galloping across the dance floor.) Occasionally we get to listen to excellent music and do our jobs at the same time, and last night was one of those nights. ( though I must say, radio traffic is really a B**** whether we are transmitting or receiving-we stand almost on top of the bands amps.(my eardrums tickle when someone talks, it's that loud.)

If they ever post that this band is playing in your area go, just go..you'll have a great time. They play a little of something for everyone's taste. There were plenty of times last night that I was wishing I was out there dancing too. I think I have forgotten what that is like having only danced once or twice at weddings for the last 10 years.

My horizons broaden as the talent comes in, and I will be sure to let you all know if the weekend bands are worth the drive. As I am still getting to know the groups, I have not too much more to add. Just remember if you come to the Casino, be smart...limit your drinking. It really kills an evening if one person in your party has too much and everyone has to go home with them. I know, I spend half my time saying sorry to the family and friends who have to pack up when one person does not maintain.

It was a wild and crazy night...we rocked all night long, and I am not talking about just the band. Saturdays will keep you hopping. I've posted a link to one of the web sites listed for them below.

Hugs,

PS: this 'young at heart' just joined their fan club...lol.
