We've all heard it before: You never know what someone else is going through. Friday night, my band experienced the reality of that. It turned an average club gig into one of my favorite shows of all time.
We played a show and there three women who sat right up front and danced all night long. They stayed the entire night, from the first song to our encore song. They laughed, clapped, danced, and got down the entire time. We thanked each of them and were flattered by their compliments.
One of the women is moving to Florida in a few weeks, one was celebrating her birthday, and the third just found out she has a brain tumor. It may very well be one of the last times she ever gets to go out dancing. And she spent it with us.
With the recent health issues members here have had and finding out about this woman, it made the drive home and the rest of the weekend very special. I did laundry, I worked on stuff around the house, I had some bourbon...all things I take for granted. But doing them this time had a somber, yet highly appreciative vibe. I think it may have been the first time I've ever smiled while folding laundry.
