The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

One of the places I saw them play was a place they said they'd never play again, so I was lucky to see them there. I wasn't able to leave state with my friends to follow a few shows because I was in college. Now I wish I would have. At this one I had a lone ticket because my boyfriend at the time didn't get me one with the bulk :cautious:. I ended up hooking up with this guy that had long dreads and we weaseled our way to the front. That's when Jerry approached me to tell me he liked my hair. The guy with dreads flipped out. After the show, he was bragging to my boyfriend about it. Made my night.
 
So, I can see both sides of this coin. My parents purchased an old piano from a church my G-Grandfather was a member of. My grandfather would light the stove in winter to warm the church and about three sets of aunts learned to play and played this piano in this church. How my dad was able to buy this piano is a funny story in and of itself.

So they get it home and refinish it in linseed oil. It is beautiful! The problem? Nobody knew how to play it! 😂. Until my youngest, took lessons and now bangs away.

The other side of the coin is piano’s are big. Not many people play and so when handed down, they just take up room. I have a friend who ripped the guts out of hers, hung the harp portion behind the frame, took away the ivory, and made a bookshelf out of it. Less space and it came out immaculate!

.
If a family heirloom i likely wouldn't paint or refinish.. but if broken down with peeling veneer missing hardware that is on side of the road i will repair. Patch holes etc and paint..... it is a case by case basis
 
Winding down for the night.
Even though I got in a nap, I'm bushed!
I redid this dresser...the handles are a vintage gold color
Beautiful - you do good work!
Damage?


I think that "carnage" and "mayhem" are more accurate.
"Carnage and Mayhem folks... coming to a town near you. Come early, come often... they won't be in town for long." 🎟️

Just realized what I did. If you want to see it, I will post it for a minute for you to see it, but I don't post face pics. I wasn't thinking :ROFLMAO:
I blinked... missed it... dang... classic FOMO :LOL:
Totally understand the whole "no face" thing though
