I was spoiled at the NYE shows in Burlington. !st by Troy &amp; his staff at the Higher Ground, letting me be the First in because I'm a poor gimp. Sitting behind Sam at the Soundboard ( the 6th band member ) was a treat as it always will be the best sounding seat in the house. Talking to band member after the show like they were normal people ( they are ) seeing Big-Ben able to relax a little ( a very hard worker ) But with production cost and being a small venue I do understand. This is why Grace gave us Grand Point North, on my favorite lake. I hope next year she can put my friend Nicole Nelson on the bill as a local talent who is about to go national as well after being on NBC's 'The Voice' ( trust me Nicole has worked very hard for 10 years before, NBC came along for the country to see her) I will see every one this year at Grand Point North. I'll be just in front of the soundboard.
