The Triangle has a growing number of bars and restaurants with stages for live music. I’ve ventured out a little bit, but I know that in order to place myself in a positive life around the working musicians and singers around town, I must come out and support them.

I recently stopped in at Prime Only. It is a steak and seafood restaurant on West Jones Street with an outstanding Sashimi Bar. The band was breaking down as I walked in, and I made a mental note to make sure that I know the show times when I am making plans to see live music.

While I lost the opportunity to network with the band members, I was thrilled to meet James Iadanza, General Manager and Partner at Prime Only. It was late and the crowd was growing thin. The timing allowed James some freedom to sit down and talk with me and my friend. He and his partners have an exciting vision for Prime Only. They want to fashion it after the Rat Pack.. with a Frank Sinatra feel.. a fine piano bar… with music from that era. Fantastic!

I was happy to share with James that I am performing many of the kinds of songs that fit perfectly with his plans for the place. We agreed to meet again with the intention of seeing whether it’s possible to build a business relationship.

Today I am totally inspired.
