Waiting For The Band To Play

For many years, I tended bar on Friday and/or Saturday nights for extra money. On the very busy holidays my husband would work right next to me. Our friends owned the bar and Ben was the bartender who served the cocktail waitress, who was also his wife. We worked very hard, but we also had a lot of fun. There was always live music so it was very busy and yet very entertaining. The band would back their utility trailers up to the back door to unload their equipment, and be ready to play in about an hour. Many nights it seemed like they just started and then it was closing time and they were loading back up. Times have changed for me, I hardly ever go out on a weekend night, let alone stay out until the wee hours.
