| What a treat it was to go to Mardi Gras this past Friday night. When we got there, we had no idea who was playing in JR's, or anything. I have kind of slowed down my band reviewing and all since I started school in September. On this night, however, Henry and I decided "eh, why not?" and decided to go, just for a little while.
We were not disappointed! There were a total of three bands playing there that night, and sadly, we did not get to see the first. Typically, we always go into JR's first, because the best bartender ever tends the bar in there. As always, that is what we did.
We walk in and the first thing I hear is this awesome sound. "Sounds like Skynyrd" I say to Henry. Then I look over on stage and wow, I was mesmerized. We stayed there and listened for a bit. The sound was so good that I couldn't leave. Not yet.
We stuck around for a bit, which is a bit unusual of me unless it is someone like Separate Ways or Dirty Deeds, two bands I make sure I never miss out on. I was not sorry that I did not bounce around from club to club at that moment.
Mr. Breeze is by FAR the best Lynyrd Skynyrd tribute band I have ever heard. They did an excellent job with the music, and Johnny Ray, well, he was just plain sweet. After their set was done, they came out to the outdoor bar and I made it a point to let him know that I thought they rocked. He was really a very nice guy, and very sweet.
So, listen up RI, get your butts out to see these guys when they come around! I know I will make note of when and where they are playing and make it a point to see them now. They are also on myspace, so I encourage you to look them up and add them.
You WON'T be disappointed. No way! Good music, good people, good times.
