Day Three Hundred and Fifty-Five: Music is King


Someone once told me that if you're a musician and you can't find a place to play in Lawrence, then you're just not trying.

There are many music venues in this town. Some regular spots with dedicated stages host music nightly (The Bottleneck, The Jackpot Saloon, The Jazzhaus). Other bars and coffee shops may have live music once or twice a week.

And then there's...Burger King?

I met Tom, the guitarist on the far left, while playing music at a church function a few nights ago.

It can be a nerve-racking experience as a musician finding out that there is a better guitarist than you sitting in the audience you are about to entertain. But Tom (a guitarist of at least 40 years) had nice things to say, and after we talked shop for a while he invited me to hear his classic-country-style group play.

At the Burger King.

Like I was told before, if you can't find a place to play in Lawrence, then you're just not trying.

I'll leave you with one last picture from the Burger King dance floor:
