The whole neighborhood was there from open to close every night. My family was very understanding about daddy taking the generator to the bar and bringing it home at night to warm up the house. I will tell you this though, I made more lifelong customers in that one week than in the 10 years I have been the owner.

A few years ago.
I had to do a show during a snowstorm, that knocked out power and so forth. Amazingly we still had people show up, and my show went on and I got paid. In Virginia, people don't usually venture out in the snow even if its a dusting.
