Ray Wylie Hubbard...

Saw Ray Wylie Hubbard at an outdoor park in Houston called Discovery Green. They have a regular Thursday concert feature there. It's free. Me and Cathy met up with Mary, Miguel, Morgan and Matt for a nice evening of music. 

If you don't know Ray he's the guy that wrote the old cosmic cowboy anthem "Up Against the Wall Redneck Mother" and has had to sing that every night for the last 40 or so years. Lately he has written a bunch of better songs than that and is becoming know as the "Snake Farm" guy. Hope he plays that one for the next 40 years. He's a good show. One of my favorite of the old "outlaw country" singers of my youth. 

A band call Shinyribs opened and they were very good. More on them later. Also did a little night club crawling ending up at Dan Electros Guitar Bar seeing a band from the Canary Islands called Korshak.   

Live music is great. Go see some. In the spirit of shameless self promotion I'm at the Lufkin VFW tomorrow night. Show starts at 8pm.
