Meeting ALICE STEWART Last Night....AND, Ready for A Cane?

by Gamma Man cc, see link
A fine musical lady, that I've admired for along time is ALICE STEWART and HERE. AND, guess what? We met her in person for the very first time last night....well, this is how it all happened. O.K?
Steve and I just love music, that's all. And so, last night we decided at the very last moment before starting dinner, to just forget dinner, to go to Centralia instead...for music and a jam we'd heard of last week. Well, now we're talkin'. What can be better than music? Except...more music. So, we happily took off...so excited that forgot my walker or wheelchair...Whoops. [we had the bass, of course]  But, it's O.K. folks, don't worry 'cause I won't give up ever.
When we got to THE JUNCTION SPORTS BAR in Centralia, we stopped the car. That's when Steve looked alittle worried...how was I gonna get in the place? He said he wouldn't just leave me in the car while he played. i had an idea...get a chair and I'd 'walk' it into the building. Yeah...it worked, and I sat down right inside the front door.
The Junction has no stairs or ramps, if you have your own wheels it would be a breeze I'm sure, to get inside. I did not see the bathrooms, so I don't know if they're big enough for wheelchairs and people at the same time. BUT, I'll check that out next time.
I'm sure there will be a NEXT time 'cause this place was lotsa fun. A big stage. Cold beer.  Seasoned experienced musicians were playing when we arrived. BARTLETT signed in and soon he was called up stage. Here comes that BIG smile of his, he was dancing, singing and having the best time [me too].

Earlier, I'd noticed a quiet lady sitting over on the side of the room. She had really cool shoes on  HERE, and looked so familiar..was it?....yes, it was HER... Alice Stewart. Steve went over an introduced himself to her. They'd talked on the phone before when she'd needed a fill in bassman for a gig. But, Steve had a gig already booked for that night, and missed performing with her.
Alice came over to my table after the jam and we talked. WOW!...Alice Stewart. She helped 'walk' me and my chair back out to our car, with Kirby, Pierre and other new friends. Thank you.
I'm sure ALL this was a sign from above....great music on the way AND I'm ready for a cane. Today, I'll get my old cane out....AND walk. Jan
