We Miss You

Now four years since you left, we miss you and love you.  The wisteria in bloom in the spring reminds us of you and your favorite flower.

Trishas RLRM at Dosey Doe

A fine performance for the Trishas on Real Life, Real Music at Dosey Doe tonight. Of course, we missed Brandy Zdan.

The Trishas and Courtney Patton @ Dosey Doe Music Cafe

As someone at my table Tweeted last night, "The Trishas and Courtney Patton are killing it", what a entertaining and fun concert was that last night at Dosey Doe Music Cafe?  The first sell out at Music Cafe (I got our tickets as soon as it showed on the schedule) and the packed house was not disappointed. Courtney Patton opened solo acoustic and was later joined by Jamie, then Brandy and Kelly.  Courtney's performance of The Fool from High, Wide & Handsome was very well done, as it should be since she wrote the song.

The Trishas opened with the big red curtain being drawn as they launched into Mother of Invention , the first track on H,W & H.  A great song to open with, kind of hat tip to motherhood and maybe Frank Zappa, and one that just sounds like a hit record to me.  They continued with almost every song from  H, W & H including Strangers, Little Sweet Cigars, Liars & Fools, Cheaters Game, Why, Rainin' Inside, and Gold & Silver.  All except Rainin' Inside I have heard performed live in concert and this is a very welcome addition to the set list.  Kelly has a sexy and expressive voice and this song is a perfect fit for her.  No Trishas concert is complete without a chicken love song by Liz (Chicken and Dumplings) and Jamie's story of a 93 year possum shooter (Alice).  These two need to be on the next album.

I can't complain about anything except that Courtney, Brandy, and The Trishas all playing together and just jamming for another hour would have been fantastic.

My Favorite Christmas Carol Right Now

Merry Christmas From The Family
Robert Earl Keen

Mom got drunk and Dad got drunk at our Christmas party
We were drinking champagne punch and homemade eggnog
Little sister brought her new boyfriend
He was a Mexican
We didn't know what to think of him until he sang
Feliz Navidad, Feliz Navidad

Brother Ken brought his kids with him
The three from his first wife Lynn
And the two identical twins from his second wife Mary Nell
Of course he brought his new wife Kay
Who talks all about AA
Chain smoking while the stereo plays Noel, Noel
The First Noel

Carve the Turkey
Turn the ball game on
It's margaritas when the eggnog's gone
Send somebody to the Quickpak Store
We need some ice and an extension chord
A can of bean dip and some Diet Rites
A box of Pampers, Marlboro Lights
Halelluja everybody say cheese
Merry Christmas from the family

Fred and Rita drove from Harlingen
I can't remember how I'm kin to them
But when they tried to plug their motor home in
They blew our Christmas lights
Cousin David knew just what went wrong
So we all waited out on our front lawn
He threw the breaker and the lights came on
And we sang Silent Night, Silent Night, Oh Holy Night

Carve the turkey turn the ball game on
It's Bloody Marys
Cause We All Want One!
Send somebody to the Stop 'N Go
We need some celery and a can of fake snow
A bag of lemons and some Diet Sprites
A box of Tampons, some Salem Lights
Halelluja, everybody say cheese
Merry Christmas from the Family

Feliz Navidad!
