BRYAN WHITE put on a great show at the fair this year and was genuinely a very nice person to be around. He came out with two other guys from his band who were lots of fun. Bryan played some of his older favorites and some of his new songs. Bryan was on a 6-year hiatus and is BACK! He took time off during the height of his career, to get married and have a family. People came out and were so excited to see him back on the road singing and playing here in EAGLE COUNTRY!
If you read the previous story about Jesse Cain, you know what Bryan did for Jesse to make Jesse’s dream come true. Bryan was so kind to all of us, but took extra time to spend with Jesse and when he invited Jesse to sing with him on stage, the crowd loved it. I was so impressed by Bryan. He has had hit after hit, but still remembers what it was like when he was younger and idolized Steve Wariner. He ‘passed it forward’ and made a huge difference in Jesse’s life that night, and I think also showed the crowd that dreams do come true…you just can’t ever give up. Bryan and Jesse signed autographs and took pictures with fans for at least an hour…they signed for anyone and everyone that was there and wanted one. It was great!
After the show, Jesse and I went with Bryan and the guys to FULIO’S Tuscan Steak House and Pastaria in downtown Astoria. Peter Roscoe, owner and chef, kept the restaurant open just for us and prepared us delicious meals and desserts.
Dinner was amazing. No surprise if you’ve ever eaten at Fulio’s. One of the guys, Joey, eye-spied an old piano and went over and started playing. The 5 of us stood around the piano, sang everything from Classic rock and the Judd’s, to the theme to the Jetson’s and Gilligan’s Island.
It was wild and every one of us sang, on and off key and just had a ball. When I talked to Joey a few weeks later, he said it was a highlight of their year; being at FULIO’S just messing around having fun. It definitely was a great time.
Peter, smoked his cigar, sat back and just watched us have fun. We didn’t leave until midnight and Peter was so gracious. He said got a kick out of it and enjoyed the evening. I know we all did!
