CODY, Wyo. (AP) - The search for a good steak landed country singer Vince Gill at Cassie's restaurant, where he treated the crowd to a 90-minute jam session. "It was just incredible," said Steve Singer, the restaurant's owner. Vince Gill and his wife, singer Amy Grant, and their children ate at the restaurant Saturday. Then Gill joined the house band, West, on stage and played six of his songs, including "Liza Jane," "Don't Come Cryin"' and "Feels Like Love." The set escalated into a jam session of blues and rock 'n' roll, Singer said. Last Wednesday, Gill and Grant held an impromptu performance at the Double Diamond X guest ranch, where they were staying. A local performer who was playing with them recommended Cassie's when Gill asked where he could find a good steak. While making the reservations, Gill's family inquired if "there was an extra guitar," Singer said. After Gill finished his steak, Singer approached him and asked if he was serious about playing a few songs. "Hell, yeah,' he said, `I'll play a whole set if you want," Singer recalled. Grant did not sing with her husband at Cassie's but complimented the band for its performance in backing.
