Jokers Dueling Piano Bar

Last night, after a dinner at Lancasters BBQ, Harry and I went Jokers Dueling Piano Bar on Lake Norman with some friends. The piano bar is unique because the music is provided by 3 musicians who play, mostly the piano, but also percussion when necessary. The crowd requests songs and the pianists will play almost anything requested. When I first heard about the piano bar, I thought it sounded a little stuffy. After having been there though, it is anything but. The music is really good and most of the time people request fantastic songs. Of course Journey was requested quite often, we heard Sublime, Ben Folds 5, Dave Matthews, Nine Inch Nails, and plenty of country music including the best damn country song ever "You Never Even Call Me By My Name".

Of course one of the best things about going to a bar here on Lake Norman is you get to see the most ridiculous people. Some of the funniest people there were a bunch of Hooters waitresses celebrating one girl's 21st birthday. They really classed the place up as Hooters waitresses tend to do. We also got to see some high class fashion. We got to see leather pants, crop sweaters (in the 30 degree weather), a shirt that literally tied on, and a man that thought he was Tom Selleck on Magnum, PI. He was wearing a silk shirt with drinks on the mint green front (the back was black and so were the sleeves), navy blue tight jeans, brown shoes, and to top off the Tom transition "the mustache". Oh, and did I mention he was probably 55? He was awesome!
