Everyone have a great day! I'm off to another GD's home with Cheyenne, for pizza, shrimp cocktails ,cookies and Euchre!
But first...I've got an urge to make some deviled eggs to take over there...

I think I saw Uncle Willie at one of those tables.
How'd they get that past the censors in 1935.
Ah Ha. That explains a lot. Well, since you're planning on using it in the future, but are short on space, would it be worthwhile to rent a storage unit? That way it you'd still have it and could bring it out for a project without having it in your way the rest of the time.
Running out the house after posting this ... if Janet catches me ... ya'll might not be seeing me anytime soon. Check out that last line ... OMG!
Keep in mind that you have to sleep sometime...
And if I'm not already in trouble ... can you imagine an ad like this today. Who says the old days weren't better? Really running out the house now.
Don't forget my comment above...
Although Zydeco seems to be well represented around these parts, I am particularly fond of Nathan Williams and the Zydeco Cha Cha's ..
and, Buckwheat Zydeco in this case also featuring Dwight Yoakum and David Hidalgo from Los Lobos .. "Hey, Good Lookin' " was always destined to get the Zydeco treatment .. Hank Williams definitely had a good dose of Cajun gene ..
Ruh RohYou all started somethin......
Can't even remember how many times I saw the "Ragin' Cajun" when he played the showroom where I worked......horsehair just a flying off that bow when he performs....
Finally back after an emotionally packed week. So glad it is over and now on to more pleasant things!
Have to read back to catch up, but I do see that Willie is back! So good to see you back!!!
Now, have I missed any tunes......guess I have to read back to find out!

Sounds like fun!! I know y'all will have a great time. I've been doin some euchre against the bots, but on a weird site. Even with firefox, pogo won't let me on, but maybe amy can figger it out. I sorta have the basics, but am definitely lacking in strategy. Need to play it with people who can tell me if what I'm doin is good or dumb lol
Sooooooooo glad you're back!! I sure did miss you!!! Hope you and Peter are doing as well as can be expected after the emotional upheaval and such a long trip done quicklyFinally back after an emotionally packed week. So glad it is over and now on to more pleasant things!
Here we go .. I would be remiss in not mentioning my love of Tex/Mex .. or Tejano .. really a mix of German Polka/Mexican/Louisiana Zydeco/Mariachi/Conjunto .. falling between the cracks of Rock, Country and Latin ... all thrown together into a musical stew that just makes the foot tap and the Dance floor becon with an infectious 2 step vibe .. especially if there are some lovely Senoritas at hand or we could say Senior Ritas .. propagated by the likes of The Texas Tornados, Doug Sahm, Flaco Jimenez, Los Lobos, Sir Douglas Quintet, Freddy Fender and many more .. much like the musical equivalent of the Tex/Mex Combo Platter .. in my youth, I grew up in San Antonio, where the big Dance Halls were the best place to experience this true roots music .. gone are most all of the Dance Halls, but the flavor of this most excellent music remains ..
and don't even get me started on Texas Swing, another sub-genre that is just flat out great ..
Harry Choates, arguably, was the nexus of Cajun / Western Swing having penned what could be considered the de-facto National Anthem of Louisiana ..

In 1957, Jimmy Dee and the Offbeats, a San Antonio Band .. released this chugging Swamp Rocker, which later went on to help inspire a young guy by the name of John Fogerty ..
I know, I know, I'm rambling .. at any rate, Waylon Jennings in 1968, went on to blend all of this mish mash into this rocking/Tex/Mex/Country/Tejano/Semi Zydeco snarl ..

But Mike, ya left out the most important piece of vintage advice there, so being the dutiful female that I am I added it for ya.....
I love all the music and have danced to most of it, but....that last one had me seeing Randall dancing with the ladies in my mind.......
Yep. That's the way I was brought up. It all went out the window along with that 1st husband.Running out the house after posting this ... if Janet catches me ... ya'll might not be seeing me anytime soon. Check out that last line ... OMG!
