There was that one redhead that would set up at about every local rodeo for years, can’t remember her name.
Reba something or other.

Where did we land on the whole smelly Kelly thing?

My daughter saw turnpike at a fraternity party in Lubbock. My nephew who is damn near old as I am used to watch Dave Matthew's at a bar in Denver with about 20 people there.....

I had a crush on a girl in Jr High who went on to date Tiger Woods... does that count?

And yes she was "his type". Tall, thin, very blonde. Was very popular with the boys. I was not the only one who had a crush on her I am pretty sure ha.

I saw Willie in August 1968;at the Convention Center in Corpus

Jason Boland at Antones, Stoney larue, CCR at Woody's Tavern in FTW,

George Strait at Crystal chandelier in new Braunfels. $3 I was hoping he would be worth it. I never heard of this cat.

Garth Brooks at the Cactus moon in Midland because he didn't sell enough tickets for the GYM at Midland High.

“date” = coitus?

My 9th grade English teacher taught Johnnie and Edgar Winter a few years earlier in Beaumont. My neighbor went to HS with Tracey Bird.

Lotta talent from the area. A guy I worked at the hospital with used to go fishing at a weir off East Galveston Bay with Mark Chestnut.

His name is Tiger... grrrrr

How did you like The Cars concert? I am curious because back in High School I used to say they were my favorite band because I liked every song on every album they had put out up to the point (Shake it Up). My senior year, I finally had a chance to see them play live and dear God they were the worst live band I ever saw...music was so "over produced" in the studio that the live performance barely resemble it at all. It was such a let down for me...So I am genuinely interested to hear your take on it.

The Old '97s at The Barley House on Henderson. They were good friends with one of the bartenders.

Y'all will love this one, I was coaching at Arlington HS and 15 year old Tay Tay Taylor Swift came with The Wolf and sang at a pep rally in @005 or 2006.
