Rowdy Cowboys

 

 

I spent a couple years in the early 90s paying my dues singing in a Texas Country-Western Cover Band.  These shots were taken at a Lockhart, TX Honky-Tonk, about 45 minutes south of Austin

 

My favorite thing about this photo is the tinsel background they had at this San Antonio club.  You just know you're playin' a high-class joint when there's tinsel hanging off the back of the stage.   I kept waiting for go-go girls to pop out, but they never did.

 

We played Luling Watermelon Thump Festival in front of 10,000 people in 1993.   I caught some flack for the "Cowboy Boots/Hat With Tie-Die Shirt and Long Shorts" look... but hey when it's 95 degrees at night, you gotta stay cool somehow.  The shot at right is of a girl being tossed into the air in front of me, during a jitterbug (Hank Jr.'s "Born to Boogie" if I'm not mistaken).   We had that place a jumpin'.

 

Bad Dwight Yoakum Impersonation, Round Rock SPJST Hall, 1994.  Note the ceiling about to cave in.
