I’ve always enjoyed my visits to Luckenbach Texas and today was no exception. A laid back atmosphere, live music, and an awesome all you could eat cat fish fry made for another good time.
Upon arrival, I always look Ron The Cowboy up. We shot the shit - talked about our ex’s, kids, and career paths; all quite normal for us. But today he was practicing his ‘minister’ skills to be put to use for the absolute first time later in the day at a wedding ceremony! A close look you’ll notice the bride and groom were both sportin flip flops. Another fine example of ‘you never know what you’ll see or hear about' in Luckenbach; especially when Ron’s involved.
The Original Texas Star Trail Ride folks were friendly and eager to talk cowboy. One cowboy (from Corpus Christi) I made small talk with indicated they had been riding since 9am, finally coming to a rest in Luckenbach around 4:45pm. We spent some time discussing the cowboy lifestyle and how he and his wife bought their children their first pair of boots at a very young age. I couldn’t help but laugh and tell him about buying my kids their first pair of Nike’s. He got a big chuckle out of that…
I stuck around for the first set of the band playing in the dancehall. They were decent, not sure who they were though. I was told the Trail Ride folk had brought’em in. Good guitar and pedal steel players.
I can’t help but admire the dancing folk in Texas; everyone knows how to dance!! Young, old, and all ages in between.
I’m fixin to learn how to two step and waltz; sooner rather than later! !
