Tommy, With all due respect, it kind've bums me out that within the talk of saving the Wonder Bar, which I support, there's other things being mentioned about Deep and The Stone Pony not being part of "the scene". Those places have their own scene. It may not be what you are into, but it doesn't make those places any less viable. The Stone Pony has always packed in the people, and I think they do a pretty good job in booking acts that are in line with what's current today. Same goes for The Saint, where I work. In my opinion, the whole of the Asbury music scene needs to be preserved. Even though the Sound of Asbury is widely known, for many years venues like the Stone Pony, The Saint and Asbury Lanes have continued the tradition of being the only venues in the Jersey Shore area, and Monmouth County as well that continue to showcase new and original music from local as well as national bands.
