Joe Bataan, did a wonderful job connecting with his audience. He knows that people are there all dressed up: got their "nails did"..."hair did"...and paid the $20 plus 2 drink minimum on a Friday nite. So no little technical problem was going to bring this show down. This is what music is about. Performance and giving the people the spectacle, the escape from our daily lives. For many, thier lives are substandard. But Mr. Bataan sang those troubles away, the dance floor was packed, toasts were made, and at the end of the nite, it was "all good."gretakithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00229515280265844900noreply@blogger.com
