Not Fade Away

the story is:  “the bar is changing owners, and is closing for a few months because of it. the owners steve & dirk threw a party last night & tonight… they have built a friendship with Bobby over the past 20 years.  he’s been in there watching sports every once in a while.  after the closing of the Sweetwater, the 2am club is the last bar in mill valley… heard that the bar will be in good hands, though. …this is the only video i have… not the greatest at keeping still… did my best! Bobby looked a bit concerned at times playing with the band, but they really did a great job no matter how intimidated they may have been. They managed to get a few smiles out of him… pretty sure he was having a good time too.”
