Hidy Ya’ll
I just got back from a week in the southeast. We had a great time and I played in Charlotte North Carolina for the first time.
We played at this real cool little bar called Pucketts Farm Equipment. I have a couple of pix courtesy of Patrick and Jenny Rine. Ya’ll may remember that the first time I went to the Finger Lakes region it was to play for Patrick and Jennys wedding. Well Patrick retired and they moved down to Asheville North Carolina, so when they saw we were playing in Charlotte they decided to drive down and hang out with us for a while.
Patrick has started to play the guitar. Now that’s the good life. A house in Asheville with a porch, a guitar and 4 or 5 bottles of beer. I expect with this combination Patrick will probably live forever.
Pucketts Farm Equipment
I would be remiss if I didn’t give ya’ll a little bit of detail about the bar we played in.
Pucketts farm equipment was started by the current owner Gary Pucketts grandfather. It started out as a farm equipment and tractor supply house. With the present day encroachment of strip malls, mini marts, and fast food joints, there isn’t enough land in the immediate area to actually farm anything. Gary Puckett decided that rather than sell out to Home Depot or some other big box organization that he would just hold on to the place that had been in his family for 3 generations and sell beer instead of tractor parts.
Some New Faces
I’d like to welcome Kurt McKinney and Warren Colter to the band. Kurt will be playing guitar and Warren is playing bass. I’m looking forward to working with these guys as they’re top drawer players and really easy to get along with. I can’t wait for all ya’ll to meet them. My old friend Phillip Achee is drumming with us and we have some dates already set up for the south.
Autism Speaks
I’ll be playing at the 2008 Greater Austin Walk For Autism event at the Dell Diamond on November 15. This will be my second year to be involved with the walk, and in honor of that Cassidy, my youngest daughter put together a video featuring Griffin. Ya’ll should check it out and leave her a comment if you have time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBoywe1qipo
