REK: Robert Earl Keen (live at Floores Country Store)
It started with a fishing buddy, “Dude, like, you’ve got to hear this one. No, you’ll like it, the guy has a song about a five pound bass.”
Obviously, a reference to REK’s Number Two Dinner CD. Album. Never saw it as a real album, so it’s just a CD.
And a classic. And certainly on my top ten list of all-time CD’s. I’ve bought it three-four times now, seen REK, three-four times now, and can’t recommend either enough.
“Leon Valley 6
San Antonio 15”
It’s the highway sign, on Highway 16, from Helotes, TX.
Singular memory

Anticipation
Good age mix
Good racial mix from white blonde girls in tight jeans – onto everything – well, there was a shortage of blacks but not other racial diversity.
The Scorpio cop was there.
“We’re at Floores, a high class place.”
No email list – but I still go.
