You don’t have to have a huge crowd to have fun…..as was exemplified by last Saturday night….(or any number of late Friday or Saturday nights)
Deb, the singer, always starts out a little mellow….soft music to dine by…..the early crowd is usually not your liveliest group; I don’t mean this in a negative way, it’s just the way it is. Part way through the night things start to pick up….people make requests….some folks start singing along……granted the later it gets, the more some have had to drink….(we count on this)….one gentleman loves to dance, and will do so with all the women at his table….. Some just get up and bust a move all on their own.
There are some songs everyone joins in, just for a word or two (anyone can do it) like the song “Downtown.” It starts…”When you’re alone and life is making you lonely you can always go……” (everyone) “DOWNTOWN!” Since this is a song from the 1960”s….the busboy jumps back behind the bar with me, we do the old dance the “Swim”…..then hold our noses and sink down behind the bar. Goofy? Corny? YES!!!! But who cares? We’re all having fun!
“Sweet Caroline” always gets everyone going……”Sweet Caroliiiiiinnnnnne …… (everyone)…….DA DA DAAAAAAA…..Good times never seemed so good ….(everyone) SO GOOD! SO GOOD! SO GOOD!” That’s not part of the original song, but it seems to have really caught on.
The crowd is rockin’ tonight, let’s finish up big!
Deb will wrap up the night with “Copacabana” or Donna Summer’s “Last Dance.” The busboy runs back into the lounge, a couple of servers will join in and we’ll start the Conga Line through the lounge……we switched it up a little last week…..I got some of the guys sitting at the bar doing a chorus line can-can kick!
The most important thing to remember is, NO ONE CARES if you can sing or dance well, just get up and join in the fun! Life is too short to spend it watching everyone else have a god time!
