Jay Eric & Bleeder's Creek was our "house band" for most of the places we hung out at.
A true Texas fact

- Start date
driving me nuts, can't remember the house band at the Fame while I was there in the early 80s. Hmmmmmmmmm
I cannot remember the name of the house band at Lakeview near A&M either. But they were real good. They put some sort of a spell on some of the purdy girls that allowed them to say yes to dancing with Lil Mikey! But then again - it might have been the longnecks! Lone Star of course!
The Arcane Texas Fact of the Day:
The Red River, which is the is the second-largest river basin in the southern Great Plains, is salty through tributaries above Lake Texoma. The saltiness is caused by a natural phenomenon that dates back to ancient times. About 250 million years ago, an inland sea blanketed parts of what is now those states. As time passed, that sea evaporated, leaving salt deposits – mostly sodium chloride. Rock and silt eventually buried the deposits, but the salt continues to leach through natural seeps in tributaries above Lake Texoma, sending as much as 3,450 tons of salt per day flowing down the Red River.

Today in history - how one itty bitty boat towed that big ole battleship from Houston to Galveston.
My plans were to be sitting at Morgan's Point to catch/video this relocation of the dreadnought. According to the schedule it should pass under the Hartman bridge between 11-12 am. If I got there at 10:30 I would have plenty of time to set up. It passed under the Hartman at 09:15 and where was I? Drinking coffee at home. Daggnabbit I should have struck to my original plan of getting there at 0900
Yeh, I was watching live feed by 10:00 and it was past the bridge.
Just heard that Robert Earl Keen just played his last concert in Helotes at Flores. That's a little sad for me - I wanted to hear him again live as it has been at least 44 or 45 years since I have heard him live. That was during the Aggie matriculation years of The Cow Paddy Daddy - otherwise known as "College Age Lil Mikey". Lil Mikey lived in a dorm just a short walk from Northgate and the famous Dixie Chicken and the more famous Campus Theater and their infamous, after midnight "Aggie Frolics". Back behind those precious institutions, at one time (now largely a parking lot/garage, was some rental houses. One of those houses a couple of students rented, lived in the upper floor but turned the bottom floor into a hamburger joint that paid for their college expenses. They put a couple of charcoal grills in the back yard and cooked the burgers on them. Big, thick, and juicy!! Lil Mikey frequented the area quite frequently. Keen rented part of a house that Lyle Lovett was also renting. They would play together on the front porch. And Lil Mikey would sometimes hear them while he was walking to get a burger or see a frolic. The dorm I was in had a "throw together band" that played on the front steps at least a couple evenings a week. I asked Keen and Lovett to join them. They never did though.
It would've been a great show! I remember seeing him at Fatso's BBQ joint here more than 30 years ago. Me and my girlfriend (wife now) and 7 other people were sitting in a single row in front of him. Last time I saw him was 3 years ago in Kerrville at his 4th of July picnic. Always puts on a great show!

Brotherhood with Texas today. Less than two days from fall and Illinois is sitting at 96° right now. Of course when fall does hit on Thursday, our predicted high is 65°!

A front is predicted for next Monday. Lows in mid 60s and high in mid 80s yippieee!! Can you say AUTUMN!!
But a tropical system is starting to loom up for the end of next week. Most models have it surviving the Caribbean and getting into the Gulf

Nothing like a little cool, brisk, football weather in S Texas to get everyone excited! ;)
Hoping that sticks and the tropical stuff stays away - will be headed that way for dove late next week.
Dove. That's those birds that magically dodge shot, right????
Actually they are the ones that taste great stuffed with jalapeños and wrapped in bacon.
Ulvade area?
Absolutely
No doubt but only if you can hit them. <see above quote>
