“You don’t want to shake my hand today.”
Benmont Tench pulled some Kleenex out from his jacket pocket and wiped his runny nose.
Being sick on the road is no fun. There’s no place to hide, no rest for the weary and no bowl of Mom’s chicken soup to help you feel better. It just stinks.
But something magical happens at show time when the lights go down and the band walks onstage. Tom and the guys launch into the show-opening “Rockin’ Around With You,” and Benmont is a man possessed, pounding away on his Steinway concert grand piano as if he’s determined to shake off or sweat out his summer cold.
We’re headed to Forest Hills!
