Just when I thought the dance parties at 14th Ave. Steakhouse couldn't get any more fun, along come Tony and Holly, with Jeff Haley! They were standing in for Reckonning and they took the 'stand' part seriously. Not one break for the three hours of singing the great dance favorites that people love.

The enthusiastic crowd really didn't know what hit them when Tony and Holly started singing with those incredible voices, taking command of every song they did. Jeff Haley, said, "I never even met Tony and Holly before tonight, but I love singing with them". Jeff certainly did that and made some songs come alive with his deep baratone back-ups.

Dancers really got a work-out! The floor was crammed non-stop and the party energy was wonderful.
And yes, dear friends, as the fever mounted - there was even a 'conga' dance!
 |
| Exuberent partiers, doing the conga around the bar! |
At one point, during the huge storm, the lights went out and the music stopped. No music? No problem. The partiers didn't miss a beat and sang the song straight through until the power came back on!
And there was more than just great music and dancing. People enjoyed some delicious dinner, too.

14th Avenue Steakhouse.
But the evening is not over!
Kelly's Irish Pub and Deli was the next stop for many of us. What a time we had there, from 9 to 11, with the great Deja Vu band, Vince Caporale on keyboard and Eddie D'Angelo on drums.
A lovely young couple came in and were greeted by all. He, Scott Kabel, plays guitar, sitting in with M.J. Wicker at Blue Star and Shuckdaddys, and she, Melissa Roberts, esthetician. They live in Colo. but visit often. Welcome!

Several guest artists were invited up to sing their songs, a feature that makes Kelley's Irish Bar really special. And once again, Mz. Holly knocked everyone out with "At Last" the final song of the night.
