my girlfiend could play the fiddle like crazy, and sing,(maybe a little flat, but not horrible so)... i would browbeat her into driving around the countryside, stopping at beerjoints, and playing for beers.
I used to drive all over hell with girls to hear music here and there. We'd drive twenty hours non-stop to Texas with an open twelve pack and a quart of coffee and drive without stopping. It's a wonder that we never got nailed. Those were the good old days.
the thing that really bothers me is that nobody knows what they're capable of.
like this beach in baja california... the topography made a slit with a natural reverb, and the mexicans would sing there... the americans shit there, despite their knowing what the place was about.
mexicans seem to assume they can sing, so they sing... americans seen to assume nobody can sing unless they have a microphone.
lord knows how many americans have... voices... that could reach us, if they wwere still human.
So finally it was just easier to move here and go to Gilley's?
Yes, except it ain't there no more. The building's still there, last time I checked. I drove down to Pasadena (Pasa-get-down-dena as they call it here) and took some pic's of the empty shell.
We don't do any bar hopping in Houston for some reason. I do all my Texas drinkin' and drivin' in Austin these days.
Lots of those great voices of the past trained up without microphones like Hank and Kitty. That includes the big classical voices that I'm real fond of too and have on vinyl.
Never heard that before. But then there are a lot of songs I have never heard.

it was a fucking tragedy.
Why was it a "tragedy"? Drunk driving tickets, wrecks with injuries or people killed?

hey!
if you're not supportive of drunk drivers, you're a communist... drunk dirving is the american way (or it used to be, before you do-gooders got hold of us)

Pay attention troll. I don't GAS how drunk you get or how much you drink and drive so long as you don't run over me or some other innocent person or run your vehicle through someone's house or business. It's really nothing to me and I only asked why it was a tragedy because YOU said it was.

well, you do-gooders have got the bit in your teeth, so go on with it.
okay, i admit it's a good thing that drunks dont kill people on the highways... but on the other hand, if people were still free to meet in the beerjoint and hash things out...
well, i wonder if we'd be killing untold thousands of people now overseas.
but we're condemned to swallow the mass media, because we dont dare go out, drink, and talk about stuff. because some gestapo asshole might bust us on the way home.
well, you do-gooders have got the bit in your teeth, so go on with it.
Yeah, why don't you go sleep it off? The last time anyone called me a "do gooder" was---well, never as far as I can remember.

it's obvious that you're a do-gooder... you feel obliged to protect us from our pitiful little selves, because you know better.
you dont want to talk about the degradation of american polity, and how that relates to our being herded around and isolated from each other by do-gooders like yourself.
It's obvious you are a troll too. And I don't feed trolls. Adios.

I was hoping that you'd offer a tag line that underscores your tragic thought processes, and it didn't take long.
Correction:
The connection between the economic system known as Communism and alcoholism is well known. Once again you've stepped in deux deux and tracked it through this website.
But to someone with a marginal understanding of politics, logic and reason, (and grammar, syntax, punctuation, etc.,) not to mention the blunder of calling a fine man like JD a "nitwit" when (unlike yours) his use of sarcasm as humor made sense, well, you've sent up another flare to the good people here to underscore your ignorance and crushing inferiority complex.
By the way, did you telegraph your love of blacks to all the customers in those "beer joints" or did you save that for the customers on the other side of the tracks as you pimped "your girlfriend's" services? If ripping off blacks to feed your sagging ego isn't too much then I can only wonder what else you expected from any woman who was desperate enough to turn musical tricks for you..And, I know enough about beer joints to be certain that many men asked for more than just fiddle music, and if you were any kind of a man you'd have bought your own damned beer and let the poor gal keep her dignity.

".... drunk dirving is the american way...."
And, by the way those "do-gooders (that) got hold of" (you) were called cops and they drive drunk any time they like. That's the way it's done in this fine, capitalist system or ours....
I guess you didn't think that one through, either.

Thank you kindly Mr. DAWG. That was a great post. I have my suspicions that the troll is someone who has posted here before and under more than one name. But I don't feed trolls unless it is just to kick them around a bit for my own amusement and I have relegated him to my clown filter.

Looks like that kid might have a future with that accordion. If things don't work out for him in country he can always play polka songs with that.
