Video: Drummer falls out window at Robert's Western World
Stan Saxon, drummer in the legendary honky tonk group the Don Kelley Band, fell out of the front window at Robert's Western World during the band's set on Friday night.
Saxon flipped backwards while the band tore through "Ghost Riders in the Sky," breaking through the front plate glass window and landing on the sidewalk and into lower Broadway lore. The incident, first reported by the music blog Saving Country Music, was captured on video. Saxon is reportedly OK — he even got back up and continued playing.
The front window is now boarded up and the Don Kelley Band is scheduled to play again on Saturday night.
The video has been widely shared on social media.
According to the Robert's website, the Don Kelley Band is one of the longest running bands in Music City:
"(The band) has been going strong since 1981. Don began playing at Robert’s in the mid-1990s. Along with BR-549, Don Kelley’s band helped turn Lower Broad around from its rundown days of peep shows and dilapidated clubs to a desirable tourist and local destination for music."
