OK, we just got this nailed down. I know everyone thinks I was being a panicky drama-queen girl about going to LW, but this was on my mind and causing consternation, too. I keep telling you, I really do have lots of irons in the fire, and I really don’t feel right if I’m not giving them the attention they deserve. Especially when it comes to gambling my hard-earned mortgage money.

Wow, what an overwhelming response to Dirt’s 2nd Annual Electric Campfire June 10th and 11th.

So here’s the Dirt (ha ha)

Friday night is ‘acoustic open mic’ till about 9.30pm then it’s Surprise Guest DAVIN JAMES to rock out the rest of the evening. If your interested in performing at the open mic or need any more info about that weekend please give Dirt a ring at 817-456-9918.

Saturday the lineup goes like this here

• Fat Boys In the Round
• Derrick Smith
• Johnny Mack
• Terry Rasor and Over The Edge
• James Hinkle
• Morris Price
• Ponty Bone

Dirt appreciates all the love and support and can’t wait to see ya on the river..

Let me give you my recommendations. Numero Uno, you can rest assured that NOBODY on this lineup sucks. I’ll give you your money back out of my own pocket if you’re not happy (the only question I’ll ask is how fast you can get your lame ass off my land.)

Can’t say enough about Davin James. Guitar-slinging Houston boy with a huge following, tons of respect from his fellow musicians, and he & the band travel in a converted horse trailer, which if you don’t love that, I don’t want to know ye. Terry Rasor is my pard in Raz on the Braz, hottest music festival in Texas. I love him and Tana to pieces. Heard his band two (three?) weeks ago at a motorsickle rally and of course, my legs hurt from bopping around like a fat white boy. Johnny Mack is a FW blues-shouter that plays a mean rub-board. Chances are that James Hinkle will join him and then go on to play a wicked set of brilliant Gibson hollow-body blues. Little secret: I’m still enough of a fanboy to be frightened of James’ super-coolness.

Most important, of course, is supporting my good buds, Dirt and Mike. I’ve written about these two hayseeds before, but I can’t be arsed to dig out the posts. Dirt and Mike aren’t brothers, but they are. They are two of the finest musicians you will find in Texas, both of them. Either one could pick up a stringed instrument and have a crowd around them doing moonshine jigs in 30 seconds. I love them both and I’m thrilled to be able to help out with getting something started for, I guess, Dirt, being as his name is on the thing. But I know Mikey is heavily involved…he’s just shy and prefers to pass (out) in the background.

Bottom line: you get a weekend of local music by some of the finest musicians in Texas, dirt-cheap accomodations (ahem-$50 off the normal price), probably a free beer or two if you walk up to the right person at the right time, river time, and of course, the company of ME. Which is priceless.

C’mon down, hayseeds!
