Topic: Two Frogs Ardmore, OK
Hello Folks, It's 3AM and my son and I just got back from seeing Joe for the 4th time in 8 days. Tonight was the best show yet for us. You can tell Joe has a special feeling for the Two Frogs Grill and it's owner, Aubry Harris, because Joe, Mark & Bogie rocked the house tonight. Joe changed up the set tonight and played The River on his red Chandler guitar which he literally put through the ceiling over the stage at the end of the song. The closing number was an amazing version of Just Got Paid Today that made everyone get up on their feet and groove with the music.
The Two Frogs Grill is a great and small venue (capacity 200) that draws the biggest talent from all over. It has hosted Peter Frampton, Ted Nugent, Dwight Yokum...more than I can possibly remember. The walls are covered with autographed pictures and guitars from EVERYONE from Willie Nelson to Keith Richards. Aubry has more interesting memorabilia than the Dallas Hard Rock in my opinion. I wish I'd have discovered it long ago. What seems to make the Two Frogs special, other than the great food and music, is Aubry. He greeted most of the people by name and then remembered the names of the 1st timers to the place. He's easy going and laid back and encourages all to have a great time. I'm told he plays a mean guitar himself too but haven't yet had the pleasure. If you're ever anywhere near Ardmore it's worth the drive there to eat some killer food and catch a great show. He's got Johnny Winter & Eric Sardinas coming soon.
We hated watching Dennis Lesh and a few others loading up the equipment because we know Joe, Mark & Bogie are moving on to other parts of the country and then Europe soon and we won't see him again for a little while.
We did get some great pictures, saw lots of great new friends from the recent Joe shows, and made a new friend with Aubry who we'll be seeing again real soon for some other rocking acts.
I'll post some links to the pictures in the next few days.
Goodnight,
ZKat & son
