I'll never forget the first time I got to catch a Billy Bob and Boxmasters show, It was at Stubbs BBQ in Austin. I was trying to keep an up close place to watch how the band members were doing things. I wound up about a foot off the huge speaker cabinets , and messed my ears so bad, I thought I was loosing my mid, because, during intermission I go over to get a drink, and my ears sounded like a glass bowl was over my head. Fortunately the next day my hearing was back.

That was around 2008, in the outside stage out back. Afterwards, Stubbs had a band playing indoors, The Parlor Mob, I had to lean against the wall or a pillar to get a sense or sound, because my ears were shot that night. Cool memories.

Any gravy on the potatoes, though?
