BLUES, more blues, even more blues, BEER , barbecue , racquetball, fishing, Battleground Europe , computers, video production, photography, poker , poke her, Final Cut Pro, Texas history, blues sheet music before 1930, girls going wild. I hang out at bars a lot, usually 150-200 nights a year. It doesn't pay well, but it is entertaining on so many levels. Sometimes the show is on the stage, sometimes it's in the crowd, sometimes it's in the parking lot, but there's always a show /b .
