The Lucky Cheats - Saddles'n'Spurs, Sunday Nov 4, 2012

I'm a little late on writing about this gig cuz it's been a crazy week, but The Cheats hosted a Las Vegas Blue Society blues jam at the SnS at the eminently reasonable hour of 6:00pm this night. A surprising number of people came out for this, including many musicians and music fans, as well as what appeared to be a number of regulars.

This was actually a very timely event, with the LC's on right at 6:00 and off by 7:00, which is always unusual in Las Vegas, land of late starts and even later ends. But, we old folks love an early night, especially when the next day is a work day.

The guys went through a fun set packed with their originals (several from the excellent CD, Sugar in the Tank) and cool covers. They even brought up a couple of special guests, including the lovely & talented Shanda from the Shandaleers and Chris from the Delta Bombers. A great time was had by all, including the hula-hooping dancers that showed up!

After the Cheats, a number of cats got up to jam, though no one jumped out at us as too exciting, so after a few drinks and good conversation we heading home for the Walking Dead! Hopefully, there will be more nights like this near home again soon!
