BRAVE COMBO sets New Polka Endurance Record  with Ill Pianist/Singer & Earns a Bundle, Wiping the Slate Clean (for a day)

Denton, TX

Brave Combo + Bart arrived all suited up and ready to go.  Each table in the glass enclosed dance room was loaded with hors-doevres and iced – down champagne.  The band especially liked the little quiches the best, and the mushroom caps stuffed with cream cheese, etc.  There was a full buffet and a bar to satisfy any alcoholics desire.  The birthday cake was strange looking – it had twigs all over it, sticking out.

Some people from up east were there, they could polka so the party soon got rolling.  A lot of little cute kids danced, also.

Suffice to say that we mesmerized the dancers and survived to pocket some good money this evening.  Carl was pretty beat, however.

$450 + all we could stuff in
