Mohawk Place
11/28/02

Everytime I come here
I see more burned-out bulbs
behind the faces of many patrons
than I see on the Christmas lights
that line the top of the stage year-round.
Yet I still enjoy the shows put on
by bands I've never heard of
and everytime I see a friend or two play
I catch something I've missed before.
It's the unseen jewel in Buffalo's crown.
"We're playing Mohawk, "
well I'll try to see you up there.
Make that the refrain in your next song
and it might be your biggest local hit.
There's more to love everytime you go back.
I see enough graffiti in the bathrooms
to make me almost as jealous as I am
of the players on the stage
and the people I came to see.
You may not have it all
but if you think you know what it takes,
then thinking's not enough
until you've played at Mohawk Place.
