Out in Aubrey, Texas, Ain't Nobody Feeling No Pain

Last evening we attended the Concert in the Park in Aubrey, Texas. The concert series, which is sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce, is held in a pleasant, grassy park near the municipal complex. It is an idyllic scene with patrons sitting on lawn chairs beneath pecan trees watching the band play in a pavilion near the railroad tracks. The whole affair is very laid back, and children run around the grass laughing and doing cartwheels and having a good old time. To me, the concert series is the embodiment of Guy Clark's song, "A Nickel for the Fiddler," which is about an outdoor concert with kids and dogs and "freaky apple pie."

Here is a link to Guy Clark's song:


Last night's show featured Jason Eady and his wife, Courtney Patton. To end the show, Eady covered Guy Clark's "Texas Cookin'." Here is a link to a Jason Eady tune:
