We went to the Dizzy Llama last night. It’s a local bar complete
with pool tables, dart boards and lots of town folk out having a good time. It’s
the part of Navasota they call Navagetdownsota.
We ran into our favorite waitress Kristi who used to work at the Filling Station Cafe and Diner before it closed. She introduced us to her new sweetheart Robert. Tall,
blond, knock-dead handsome. The best part, he is very, very good to her. It warms
my heart to see twentysomething-year-olds delight in each other as they test the waters of new love.
Our friend Mitch White was there with his band Brickyard
Kane. The band is solid now with Jarret on drums, Kevin on bass, Tyler on lead
and Mitch on rhythm guitar. Primo badass and rollicking
fun. The beer (and O'Douels "make believe beer") came to the table icy cold and the music was hip-swaying hot. We had the best time.
Brickyard Kane recently signed a three year contract with Bad Dog Records. Soon they will
be traveling across the country promoting an album they’ll cut with their new
label. Mitch said 12 weeks on and 2 weeks off. I think they will find it hard living on the road, but they are excited about the chance to hit the charts with their Texas blues rocker sound. They'll play like they did tonight with guitars blazing, drums pounding till the walls shimmy, and Mitch shouting the blues and rocking full throttle.
Just think, Ronnie and I will be able to say we knew these guys when they were first starting out. How cool is that?
