Eric Nelson (Wayne Nelson's son) and I played at the Townsend American Legion last night. It was a good night and everyone had a good time.
The Legion has gone Non-Smoking (FINALLY) and business slowed for them quite a bit these first couple of weeks. I'm hoping that all those people who gripe about the smoky bars will start patronizing the Legion now and build the business back up.
Anyway, they had a mixed doubles pool tournament last night so we had a good crowd right from the beginning as well as the few who came in just for the music.
Eric and I are a good mix as he is an extremely good guitar player and is founded more in Rock than Country/Western. He can play along with my classic (old-guy) country and then throw in some good rock stuff once in a while for variety.
We were done about midnight and I played the male half of the tournament winning team for his share of the tournament winnings. That added to my take for the night!
No trip to West Yellowstone this weekend as I'm finishing up a couple of computers that I was working on so I just don't have time to run down to West for a pool tournament. Maybe next week.

If you like playing the old time cowboy music check out
http://www.texascrossroadscowboypoetry.org We will be live-streaming audio through http://www.ralphsbackporch.com
This event is a venue for musicians, poets and storytellers to break into the cowboy poetry gathering circuit. Also a way for you to get out of the cold. Our "winter" down here is warmer than spring in Montana (And it is consideered a blizzard if we get an inch of snow!)
