(News From Over the Fence)
IT'S A BRAND NEW YEAR!
Gonna be busier than a sore-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs!
We just got back from a well-deserved "Mini" vacation.. As soon as we got the trailer loaded up after pickin' our New Year's show.. we headed out to near Austin to attend what turned out to be one of the highlights of our "musical life". We got invited to be a part of Freddy Powers' "Pickin' Party" on New Year's Day..and have never had more fun being around a bunch of pickers and singers in our lives!
Got to meet and listen to some of the best musicians we've ever heard..and then got treated to a concert with Freddy and his band. Just to clarify this to any of y'all that don't know.. Freddy Powers is probably Merle Haggard's closest and bestest friend, and wrote or co-wrote with Merle, just about every hit song Merle ever recorded! He is a really great guy, and we're hopin' to get to know him better.
In addition to the great music event, we also got to see parts of Texas we ain't never been to before.. Unbelievably Beautiful Texas Hill Country.. including a trip to Lucenbach, yep..the one that Waylon and Willie sang about! We didn't want to come back..but some electrical problems on "Rosie", our new van, forced us to cut short our trip. We will be making more of these trips this year!
Come See Us When You Can!
