At the Navigator on Sandwich Road, Falmouth, the Flamingo Room act by Miami Mike and Little Eddie worked very well. Best part - they are good singers, easy to listen to. They allow but do not expect singing along. They greet the audience as people enter and then remember names and characteristics to interact, flirting with the ladies and teasing the men as they perform their song and dance.
I came in late, having got the time wrong, and was placed at a quiet table. Joe stayed home to watch TV tennis, the US Open. Tiny was dancing with Mike, his longish white hair needing styling, but he didn't care. The gay guy at my table cared, but he said he was happy with the atmosphere, very much family including his boyfriend. We danced a bit, just polite slow stuff. Hip hop is his venue.
I had a glass of Portuguese red wine and danced swing with Tiny.
Then a former student spotted me, excellent dancer, no partner now that she's divorced again. Her table was livelier, singing along to Sweet Caroline. I got to lead for a while.
Thumbs up for an entertaining evening.
