Vintage Gear...

The Back Porch Band played the sawmill supper at Falvey Methodist Church in Wells Texas. It's an annual event. They feed you beans and greens. It was good grub. The event honors the old saw mill days of East Texas. 

It looks like from a quick history search that the roots of the Falvey Church were established in 1888 when the Mt. Hope congregation moved to Wells. When the band asked for a chair to set a P.A speaker on the pastor produced two chairs of a matched set which he claimed to be 100 years old. Given the history and the fact that there were old pictures and stuff around I have no doubt this was an accurate age. Nice that they brought out the good stuff for us. 

In case you don't know vintage musical gear is a great asset in producing the old school "hard country" tone that the Back Porch Band is famous for. Nice to have vintage chairs to match. Too bad we can't take them on every gig.
