Starting after 10 p.m., the crowd only grew as the hour got later. With Lawrence and Jerry-O on guitars, Barry on bass, and Wes on drums, the funky, driving engine of Chicago blues churned all night. We clicked into a groove and the music flowed like melted butter. Now it was after 3 a.m. Wes was singing BB King’s “To Know you is to love you:” “the power…of your loving…: On my little keyboard, waves of organ sounds floated over the top of the music and the musicians nodded their approval. The band had been gifted with the musical power of love, to create sounds and feelings. People stood up and laughed and danced. At 3:30 the show thundered to a close, the DJ put on some mellow R&B. Whatever problems had had been bothering people, all that was left in the plain little room was a feeling of joy and release. Couples glided cross the floor, singles hummed along and tapped their toes. We rolled up our cords and packed up our instruments. No amount of money could have bought the magic in the air.
