Music News from the Big Bend of Texas
In Terlingua you’ll hear it said, “we take care of our own.”
Brittany and Billy are certainly “our own,” and the community gathered to support them as they launch their new family.
The parking lot was full of contestants in the dutch-oven baking competition. The club was full of well-wishers.
There was a live music and a huge auction, with heated bidding on many items. All money raised went to the soon-to-be newly weds.
Here’s the pics-
Old friends gathered for happy hour with Jimmy Holbrook at his unique “Passing Wind” compound Friday afternoon.
Jimmy will be back for the chili cook-off.
Keep scrolling for pics of music at the Starlight Theatre and the Thirsty Goat Saloon.
Last weekend was about as “Terlingua” as you can get.
Saturday there was a big benefit at the American Legion post at Terlingua Ranch to raise money to buy food for the Terlingua Crisis Center food distribution program.
George Goss and Webb Abbot and the “Sons of the Legion” put on a day of skeet-shooting, axe-throwing, prizes, cake-walks and music. Oh yea- there was also a tuna steak dinner that absolutely rocked.
The music continued Sunday at the High Sierra. Jeffro Greasewood is back in town having successfully grown several inches and a huge smile. Jeff Haislip hosted an open mic that started on the stage, moved into the dining room and ended up outside in the new outdoor bar.
Here’s the pics- enjoy!
