Dirtfoot...

Here's a couple of photos from my birthday weekend bash. This is the Shreveport band Dirtfoot playing at the lounge of the casino where we stayed. They are a band whose music we have been collecting for a while and using their terms can be describe as "gypsy punk country grumble boogie."  As I am not much of a gambler our trip to the casino was just to see the band. We were afraid we would not be able to catch Dirtfoot local as they had toured last year opening for the rock act Primus and might be on to bigger better things on the national scene. 

Instrumentation is a bit unusual  Sax, guitar, banjo, bass drums and a percussionist on vibes, trash can lids sections of pipe and other general noise makers. You know the kind of stuff that drives most people crazy we like. People tell me all the time they like all kinds of music. They are lying.  

So this was kind of an all in one deal. Something we don't normally do. Stayed in the hotel, ate at the restaurants, saw the music and I did gamble on slot machines a bit. Lost $30 to the one armed bandits. Funny how I can feel guilty about that but can drop $100 at a used cd/record store and feel it's money well spent. 

Seeing the band Dirtfoot is time well spent.
