While there was a good crowd last night, warm weather, lovely Christmas tree etc, to admire, the band's choice of music in the last set, caused a mass exit from the crowd. I will quickly add that the band is very accomplished, and an excellent singer rounded out the talent, BUT, slow, maudlin songs were not what we anticipated at a New Years Eve celebration - We were not alone in that thought, because folks literally got up and left in droves many of them complaining loudly about the choice of songs. We were disappointed to end the night on such a "bummer"... As I said in my title, perhaps we were part of a minority who felt let down....

We felt the same way. Normally we enjoy this particular band but last night absolutely not, too low key and slow.
Ho hum!!!
