do they still do the after hours thing in tejas

Some places do they stop serving alcohol at 2:am bar time. Usually the places that do that don't have bands its mostly Raves and rap clubs. As it is the places I am playing are an hour away. After a gig and eating when I get home from a gig I am lucky to get in bed by 4:00am

when i lived in texas a lot of our gigs were like 12:00 till 3 or 4 instead of opening we played after hours just curious .. re-livinig some memories

J the other guitar player in the band at the time was from beaumont anywhere near you?

I am not aware of any clubs that do that anymore! There maybe some not in the Houston Area like Austin or Dallas that do. I haven't heard of them!

Beaumont is pretty close about 80 or 90 miles east of Houston toward Louisiana.

tri cities is zz region isnt it?

Yes ZZ Top lives in Houston until Ike hit In 09 Dusty Hill Lived about 5 miles from me in Baycliff but Ike tore his house up so bad I heard he wasn't planning on staying.

hey J i posted some stuff please critique it , but if you hate e-mail me lol !, I miss texas musicians

I just listened to Don't blame It On Me it sounds awesome! I really like that ride out solo at the end. Was that the PRS your playing at the end? I got to get up early I am getting ready for bed now. I'll listen to the rest when I get to work in the morning!

Yes & i'm up late drinkin but thank you, If you have the time , Id really value your comments /suggestions, thanks

LOL I was drinking last night! We have been in a near apocolyptic drought here breaking all kinds of heat records here. Finally we got a cool front come through and last weekend was just beautiful and I finally got a weekend off from gigging so Sat. and Sun. were my drinking days LOL! Its back to the daily grind for me. No drinking till next Sunday!

Blues Edge, I listened to the rest of your tunes I like them! I see that you opened for Head East those guys get around. We opened for them in 1996 the drummer they had at the time was REALLY GOOD he wasn't the original drummer. However the original drummer was there. At the time he taught at the Art Institue of Houston. He sat in on a couple of tunes we got him to autograph our Flat As A Pancake cd too. Those guy's are really down to earth they came over and told us how much they enjoyed our music and thanked us!

yea i think when I opened for them the only original members were the keyboard & gtr players. not sure about the drummer but the 2nd gtr & bass were not original members. glad you liked em wasnt going to put the instrumentals on but I figured what the heck ( thats stuff I do for myself with the drum mch )

I liked the instrumentals the best!
