I’m unsure of how to introduce the concept. “No. 2 Live Dinner” was done at Floores, a few years back.
A few years later a fishing buddy said, you’ll love this, it has a song about a 5 pound bass. And a few years later, I find myself at Floores Country Store, “I’m over you now, it’s Saturday night, I’m going to town….”

[/style>It was picture perfect weather, couldn’t have asked for better timing. The crowd seemed a little thin from previous Floores shows, but I’ll write that off to either timing or location.
I remarked, before the show, what I really want is a #2 Dinner, signed by REK. From the stage, halfway through his first set, he mentioned that he would be signing merch later. Anything. Pictures. By then I was way too tired.
Memorable moments included Dylan’s Tangled Up in Blue, covered very nicely, although, some folks around us didn’t get it.
Early on, as a good Capricorn, Robert Earl Keen officially launched my Xmas season, with his “Merry Xmas from the Family….”
“You know,” he commented from stage, “A Christmas song has to be followed by a song about fish. I read that.”
Rollicking good fun, as usual. Ducking out before the mass exodus, on the highway back in San Antonio, the little freeway signs warned about congestion going to Houston and low fuel supplies.
