After throwing fireworks and French fries at each other during their respective performances at Luckenbach Texas on the 3rd, Cory came and gave Pat a big smooch on the cheek. Just thought I’d share.

I saw today that Brian Burns has passed away. He was a true Texas troubadour. He even did a musical history program about TX. history for school children. If you have never heard him, check him out YouTube, you won’t be disappointed. Godspeed Brian.

One night 21 or 22 years ago I was up late and saw Jack Ingram play Will Kimbrough’s “Goodnight Moon” on a TV program: I can’t rig it was Austin City Limits, Mountain Stage or Live from Lincoln Center. I remember he was playing solo, had a beat to Hell Guild acoustic guitar and was wearing a beanie hat. He also played “Fool” and “Biloxi”.

I fell in love with that song that night and I now have a 2 year old daughter that I sing it to as a lullaby. And she knows the chorus.

I was wondering if there is video of that program somewhere online. I’ve looked all over YouTube and can’t seem to find it.

Who’s gonna be sweating it out this Thursday and Friday?

We have a local Farmersville, Texas red dirt guy named Mike Schikora that has been putting on the North Texas Troubadour series at a small venue about a mile from my house in Farmersville, TX. On June 6th, I saw Mike and a friend of his whose name escapes me followed by one of my all time favorite storytellers, Max Stalling with his wife Heather. The show was incredible. Absolutely, 100% better than any large venue concert I've ever attended.

Mike's done two of these shows so far, I missed the first, one but should he continue to do them, I'll very likely not miss any of them in the future.

Thrift Store Cowboys is embarking on their first Southwestern tour in over a decade. Don't miss your chance to grab some new merch and a limited edition Dirk Fowler poster.

Made a point to see these guys play at the Rodeo Exchange in the Stock Yards of Fort Worth. Went dancin'. They were a talented band.

Callaghan Divide and Fair to Midland never got their fame, either, but all are still worth keeping in rotation.

First time caller, long time listener. Was listening to Six Market Blvd tonight who is one of my favorites and realized how few listens they have on Spotify. They put out two albums and I consider them both to be lightening in a bottle. I always wish I could get more of them and that with time they would have had a breakthrough moment. I feel similarly, albeit less developed about Emory Quinn before they broke up. Does anyone else have bands they thought “had it” but broke up too soon?

I've heard it a couple times on Maverick 100.9 FM. Kind of a rockier sound. It's about a guy who's busy working and wants some time off to spend with his wife. Chorus has some of the following lines -

"Everybody's always on vacation."

"Don't know what to do about my situation"

"I wanna have a good time too."

"I wanna spend a little time with you."

Hey, guys. I made a new sub for the stuff that is a little more on the rock n roll side of Texas country. Just thought some of you might enjoy it. Just started it so feel free to add music or just check it out and see if it's your cup of tea!

I heard this song once on local Corpus Christi radio (The Jalepeno) back in 17-18 and I never caught the name, and it happened to pop in my head this morning.

Anyway, I think its about a guy doing a show in some small town where the vibes just seem off, and the chorus is a shifting version of: "Am I just stoned/drunk/paranoid or is everybody stoned/drunk/paranoid around here?"

Please and thank you for any help.
