I have done very large gigs before. I've done as many as 15,000 seat arenas before with some of the oldies acts I work with. But I have never had a gig like last night.
First off, of all the acts I work with, it's the most unlikely act to draw that many people. It's a Blues Brothers lookalike act that I've done conventions with around Orlando for the past 5 years. While they are the best Blues Brothers act in the business, it's not exactly like I'm playing with Paul McCartney. But I swear there must have been 20,000 people at this little fair in Richmond Hill, GA, about 20 miles from Savannah. Judy Belushi (John's widow) was signing copies of her new book "Belushi," and she loved us and was very nice. And the people were acting like we were rock stars. Every time I came out front to play, people would try to shake hands. Hard to believe that this little lookalike act would make me feel more like a rock star than I ever felt before
Oh well, tomorrow it's back to conventions for 300 people, but last night we ruled Richmond Hill, GA!
