This is a cool venue.  Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, Hank Williams (Sr. & Jr.), and Marty Robbins all played here back in the day.  There are still photos on the wall from that era.  I gather that the place has been through several management changes over the years, and that the current scene is a big improvement.  It's a big, beautiful room.

The boys and I played a few songs at their first open mic tonight.  Don't be offended you didn't get hipped to the lick up front.  I needed to do one by myself first.  It was all right.  We didn't sound too bad, and it was fun.  Boom, on to the next thing.  Ah, at last.  Well, I played drums in a one-off house-party band once, and sang for the old office holiday party band, but axe in hand, mic in face, singing stuff I wrote in front of a band?  A first.  Awesome.  It's never too late to start having fun.
