cow town hoe down

when she graduated from high school, my middle dtr told me she wanted to live out on her own for a yr before going to college "so i can have the experience of paying for shit." so she moved into a house in north richland hills with one of her high school friends and a coupla crazy rockabilly kids, marc and sarah, who usedta hang out at the black dog a lot. marc and sarah, at least, proved to be real good friends and roommates. they were (and are) also true believers in the faith of sun elvis, mac curtis, and cowhide cole. once when my dtr was in a blue funk, sarah suggested to her, "you need more rockabilly in your life!"

now marc and sarah are part of dixie fried entertainment, a consortium (with pal tyler evans) of rockabilly/country/roots music fanatics who are booking the "cow town hoe down," which will hopefully become a monthly rockabilly night at the stockyard saloon (2409 n. main). their first event will be on friday, july 27th, with the two timin' four. the 21+ event is free, and they're looking to attract an eclectic crowd. i say check it out. we could all use more rockabilly in our lives.
