NIGHT AT THE
t’s saturday night and the dance floor’s split: Clubmasters and cuffed jeans ver- sus Stetson hats and cowboy boots. However, there’s no rivalry here. The band is on, the lights are low and everybody — young bucks and old-timers alike — is here to dance away the worries of the working week. Up on the stage, Pat Roberts and the
Heymakers are giving dancers an upbeat rock- abilly groove to move to — imagine a blend of classic country-western and early rock ’n’ roll. Coiffed pompadour and sideburns, cowboy shirt with pearly snaps, straight-leg jeans with a 1950s cuff and a bandanna tied around his neck to top it off — Roberts not only sounds like the perfect marriage of Elvis and Johnny Cash, he looks the part too. “Good rockin’ lady won’t do me wrong,” he croons, shooting a sidelong glance at Amanda Lee, his bass player and best gal. She’s hard to miss, with a baby-blue Western dress lined with fringe as white as her victory-rolled locks.
