The benefit for Dave Robinette was amazing. Yes, the music from the bands and musicians was wonderful and yes the bar was packed. But that wasn’t the amazing part. The love for David was powerful. It brought us together. A community of fans, friends, musicians and family. All around Mr. Lucky’s were big smiles. Old friends laughed and clapped each other on the back. It was one of those nights were you see that old buddy and sit and have a drink together. Dave Robinette is alive! He survived his stroke! We celebrated his life and took a moment to morn Wease and Rich. It was simply the right thing to do.
Yes, at least $5000.00 was raised, and yes the Robinette family can breath a little bit easier for a while. However it was the power of community that made hearts soar. We came together and made we a difference.
