Week of 5/1 - 5/5
The Topcats were scheduled to play on Friday night at the Little Red Church Fair in Destrehan but as you well know the rain that night was just horrible. So the gig was cancelled. Saturday night the weather could not have been more perfect as we played for the first time at the Barn at Ground Patti in Kenner's Rivertown. Such a great night. The Barn was packed the parking lot was packed. The burgers were great. We had actually played a private Mardi Gras function there some time back but this was our first 'open to the public' gig at the Barn. And you guys all made it really special for us. We need to thank our friend Robert Cox for coming out to play drums and sing with us as Robert Schulte had a prior commitment and had to leave the gig about 30 minutes early. What a fantastic area Rivertown has turned into. Tuesday night (Cinco de Mayo) was once again in Kenner at El Paso on West Esplanade. We've played this gig for a few years now. Usually we are set up on a stage in the parking lot but (if I understand correctly) this year there was some confusion as to a permit for the stage so we were moved back onto the patio area. And as you can imagine it was packed in there. Not a whole lot of room for line dancing. But what a great night it was. As always we want to thank you guys for the support over these many years. We will have some time off now and hope to see you soon.
