1. The Southgate House Revival Sanctuary in Newport. However, not sure about the venue which includes 500 miles to Memphis, Warsaw Falcons, 90 proof twang and Bootleg Rider. Also, Southgate has received some mixed reviews but no favorable places in Covington/Newport to enjoy good music that I can find.
2. The Slippery Noodle - Indianapolis,IN. Peter Novelli will be playing there next Saturday. Had a chance to listen in and am impressed by his style, and I love slide guitar. In addition, there is a revolving restaurant above the Hyatt which sounds like a nice experience.
3. Firehouse BBQ and Blues - Richmond, IN. Gordon Bonham Band with stylish blues. Very impressive. However, that's it for Richmond. They don't seem to have anything else I'm looking for towards a good anniversary experience.
Not really looking for an 8ball and hooker. Would like to celebrate another anniversary next year if I could.
The original Southgate House was and still is a great dive to see shows in. There was a split in the business and the result was the "Revival" opening a few blocks away. I have not seen a show there, but have heard the acoustics are good as it is in an old church. I would feel confident going to a show at the old Southgate House by Newport on the Levy or at the Revival which is about 8 blocks up in town. Never been to the Noodle but know lots of folks who have and endorse it too.
JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
