Sam Bentley @ Albert Dancehall (12/31/2010)
New Years Eve! A time for partying, remembering the old year, and looking forward to the new one. A time for friends and family. No better place for all that than The Albert Dancehall with the Sam Bentley Band (and family!). It was cold…..not as bad as it could have been……but cold by Texas standards. That was okay, we just wrapped up in our coats and enjoyed the evening anyway!

Sam Bentley @ Albert Dance Hall (07/24/2010)
Just south of Stonewall, TX, there’s a wide spot in the road called Albert. It’s the home of one of the most historic dance halls in Texas and some of the friendliest folks you’d ever want to meet. The dance hall is being renovated and is quickly becoming THE place to go. When you go, be sure to have some of the great BBQ. Can’t wait til next time!
- This gives you an idea of just how big the dance hall really is......we were close to the band even it does look like we were up in the cheap seats. :)

Sam wrote this song, “If It Does, It Does”, with the help of his band members. It’s cute….it’s catchy….and, if you recognize yourself in the lyrics, you might want to think about getting some help….or….not.
