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! !
