I do remember all the bands you mentioned. We have had some great music and great times over the years in the Lakes Region. I just love living here, although winter does seem long long long! Maybe you should start having bands at the VK. Now that would be fun.I think we use to listen to bands when it was the Old Bud's Pub. Do you remember that? How about the Begger's Banquet ( Paul Costley), The Stone Hearth and the White Hat? Were you involved with the White Hat?

We must know each other, GB Girl.......We loved Beggars banquet, and Paul is a good friend of mine...he's still doing music, by the way.....think it's called "Not so costly productions" or something like that.....and, yup, I did own the "Hat" for 7 years.....that was some serious fun....all the local bands we mentioned plus some bigger rock and blues bands. Remember JB Hutto and the New Hawks? Crossfire? The Boston Brats, Rosie?......I love that biz but Sammie would kill me as I slept if I even THOUGHT of opening a club.
The reason there are so few clubs with entertainment, now, is mostly the cost. Insurance for a club with full liquor license, live entertainment and dancing is in the $30,000 range as I understand.....too bad, there used to lots of good places to go dancing.

Jeesh Samiam, who says you can't dance at the VK without a full liquor license and a band. Next time I have breakfast there I'm jumping up on the table and putting on a show. You should see me dance with 2 eggs in my hand and bacon on my head.
