Ray Stevens: Friday Night Piano Bar...

Hello fans of Ray Stevens!! In my previous blog entry I made mention that I was surprised that the CabaRay Piano Bar was still operational on non-concert evenings. I visited the CabaRay webpage and they've put the John Jonethis promo inside a link that reads: "Piano Bar Friday Nights are Back!". The promo originated in July of 2021 and at that time it was visible further down on the main page. When you click the LINK you'll see the promo detailing pianist John Jonethis playing at the Piano Bar on Friday evenings beginning at 7pm Central. On Ray Stevens concert evenings the Piano Bar opens at 5pm and closes just prior to Ray's concert. The Piano Bar then re-opens following Ray's concert and stays open until, usually, Midnight. The Piano Bar offers all kinds of mixed drinks and from what I've read there are drinks named after characters and catchphrases in Ray's comedy songs. You can also purchase souvenir bottles of CabaRay Wine or purchase a bottle and drink it responsibly while inside the Piano Bar. When you're inside the Piano Bar you'll not only see the piano John Jonethis plays but you'll, of course, see the bar and the drinks available. There are seats/tables situated all over the Piano Bar. There's a long table that goes along the outside of the piano for those that want to sit right up next to the piano. There's traditional bar seating, too...and a bartender on hand. There's a balcony area where you can look out over top of the Piano Bar. There's even a dance floor area for those that want to engage in dancing during a John Jonethis performance. When you're inside the room and seated at the bar, the piano will be located off to your left. The Piano Bar is officially called The Bill Lowery High Spirits Emporium. Ray has previously uploaded various videos promoting the Piano Bar. Three 13 second video promo's appeared on YouTube last year when Friday and Saturday performances by John Jonethis made their debut. Earlier today one of those videos was re-uploaded with new graphics to reflect the new schedule: Fridays at 7pm. You'll see the interior of the Piano Bar in the video...
