Friday Night at The Clinic with Reagan Boggs Band.

Things have a way of becoming smaller the more you experience them. Kind of like when you were a kid and things seemed so “big” and as you grown older, they seem smaller. I used to think our little town here in Kingsport was a big place until I explored all of its streets and moved on to other areas in the Tri-Cities, but now I know it’s small and even our corner in East Tennessee gets smaller the more I travel.

Friday night, I left work a little early to head to Wytheville, VA to perform with Reagan and the band at “The Clinic.” This is a good-sized venue in the center of the downtown and although I used to imagine it was a long way from Kingsport. The hour and half drive is a breeze now, especially with the beautiful weather we have experienced lately.

It was funny too. We had been off for a week and I think we all missed playing and were eager to get there ahead of schedule. I pulled into the clubs streetside lot around 7.30 and had everything set up quickly.

The Clinic in Downtown Wytheville

I took to the streets and snapped a few photos before the sun went down and in particularly got a picture of the big No# 2 pencil that serves as a landmark downtown at The Wytheville Office Supply, right across the street from The Clinic

Back in the bar, it wasn’t long before Jason and Greg started encouraging everyone to do shooters and I was aquainted with something new….Red Headed Sluts

Yep. We got started real early and those drinks were good. Reagan came in with Tony close to 8.30 or so and we were performing shortly after nine. Although we hadn’t played in over a week, it was easy to get right back into the pace with the music.

We opened with a 30 minutes acoustic set and had a decent crowd for this room on a Friday. There were a few nice looking women, bus as usual, they were in and out and not much to play with there. We played about three sets and were finished sometime near 1.00 am and although I was tired, the drive home was Ok and I was in bed around 3.30. Good time though….
