Last night my friend Kevin came into town from Austin. He is the bass player for Dax Riggs now and had some time off so decided to come back home. We all got together and his parents' house and got together some grilling with friends. Filled the bucket with Lone Star and Shiner, and got some burgers, shrimp and salmon for the grill. It was amazing. My friend Cameron seasoned the burgers and they came out fantastic....some of the best burgers I've ever had, actually. Kevin did the shrimp directly on the grill, and the salmon wrapped in tin foil. It was spot on.
After we ate it came time, as awlways, for the music. Josh Blevins (Singer/Guitar from The Examples) brought his Dean and a xylophone (which was random) and we played for a couple hours. Did some Dylan and I think it even got to a point where we were doing Oasis covers? It kind of got blurry there. Kevin brought out the mandolin as well, but it wasn't played much. I did a version of peg and awl, Possessed by Paul James style.
After that people started leaving and eventually it was just Kevin and I. We grabbed the last beers and then listened to the new Dax Riggs album in my car. It's not officially out yet so he couldn't give me a copy, but it had some really solid tracks on it. I am going to try and get a single off it which I'll share here and on my tumblr.
That's how we get it done. Good friends, good music, good food, good beer and of course the Houston rain!
