Thread Name: Your absolute BEST audience ever!
Subject: RE: Your absolute BEST audience ever!
Well, since I too posted to the Worst Audience one, I guess I ought to post here too. My second worst was a Nursing Home night, but I think my best is also Nursing Home nitght when everybody is "UP" and all there.These people are, in effect, a captive audience, and there is nothing better than a really wild night at the residential care center. Of course, up there, there is always Steve--40 something,& severely handicapped. Brain damaged at birth, spastic,MD, and cystic fibrosis.

He speaks, but not well (meaning, if you are around him enough, you can understand him). He is ALWAYS "up" and flirts outrageously....."I love you Sorch," "Come home with me, Dana"....wheel chair bound but he loves to "dance".........he usually gets the other, older residents going with his antics.

PS--Steve also plays 3 finger piano for the weekly residents Hymn Sing.........and his Mom visits every day.There is not much better than playing for Steve....but opening for Three Dog Night and Turtle Creek was close!
