  1. Yes, it really is pretty amazing that there are not more venues that offer dancing when MOST women love to dance. And, when you consider the hundreds of thousands of people in this area who are middle aged or older, you wonder why there are practically no venues that offer the kind of music that they like (standards, oldies, show tunes).
  2. The Flaming Pit located on Rt. 355 in Gaithersburg has a piano lounge that offers a competent piano player six or seven nights a week beginning about 7:30 pm. For me, I love the fact that I can get there early (4 to 7 pm) which secures me a good table near the piano and ALSO secures EARLY BIRD PRICING for me and my guests. The place fills up about 8 pm, and if you arrive after 8 or 9 pm, you may need to sit at the bar, which is farther away from the piano than the tables. The EARLY BIRD PRICING is a great deal. They offer at least six choices of entrees which all come with your choice of soup or salad, and the price is $12.95. For an additional $5, you can have a red or white wine with your meal. Three of us went there on Friday night and the total check after three hours of eating and drinking AND listening to a wonderful piano player, came to $75 including tax and tip! And the cream of crab soup was delicious. The piano player has a large repertoire of memorized songs though he does occasionally use sheet music for a lesser known song. He takes requests from diners all night long who may want to hear a favorite song and the lounge has "regulars" who come up to the piano to sing. When we were there, there was also a talented harmonica player and a very talented sax player who accompanied the piano on several songs. There is no dance floor but they do allow dancing on the carpet next to the piano. I requested my favorite jitterbug (Satin Doll) and my favorite cha-cha (Tea For Two) and I got to dance to both songs. The three of us had a wonderful evening.
