Yesterday I flew to Dallas to spend some time with my Brother's family. I rented a car, and am getting my suburban on. Last night bro and I took a ride into downtown Fort Worth where we were going to check out Pete's Dueling Pianos, but as we drove by, there are was a line of people waiting to get in. So we then drove 15 miles to Lewisville where we went to another dueling piano bar called Rockin' Ivories. It is in a strip mall, and is a very large space, with most people sitting at tables. Perhaps there were 40-50 tables with about 3-4 people at each, and then a smaller bar where there was about 35 people gathered around. The stage was very large with two grand pianos, and a full drum kit. There was a full mirror that was set at an angle behind them that spann
ed the length of the stage so you could see their fingers and the tops of their pianos. The 2 pianists would alternate, one playing drums while the other played piano. They played all the standard rock piano songs, and the crowd was completely involved. The bar made a ton of money and so did the pianists. Apparently they only do the dueling pianos on Fridays and Saturdays, but the money that the bar makes on those two days alone justifies the business. Praise be!
