Smoke On The Water

Everything got started around 4 this afternoon, it was a muddy mess getting in. Cars and trucks stuck in the mud everywhere, the most popular person there was the guy with the tractor and chain. The smell of bar-b-que could be detected in the air for more than a mile.

We walked around checking out some of the vendors and began bumping into a lot of old friends, some that I had not seen in many years. Spent an hour with Ricky and Kathy Tucker eating some great bar-b-que, cole slaw and the best brunswick stew that I have tasted outside of 8112 South Lagoon Drive. Ricky made the stew and he had a special bar-b-que sauce that he made with peaches that just may be the best I've ever had. David Britt, Tom Daniel, Tim Turner and Bo Waldrop all showed up about the time I finished and we spent another hour laughing and talking.

Barney and Janice Bowles were there and we are all hoping that Coy and the band win the CMA award Sunday night for Best New Artist.

The rest of our gang showed up late but in time to hear Conner Christian and his band play, it got pretty cold by the time they had finished and we left.

Tomorrow we try some more bar-b-que and dress a little better for the weather.
