Late Saturday afternoon my pal Julie from Sturgeon Bay texted me and asked if we could use a couple of tickets to the Robert Earl Keen concert at the Door Community Auditorium. To which I responded: Heck Yes! So last night we connected with Julie and her good friend from college and husband visiting from Boise, Idaho. It turned out he's in the same line of day job as yours-truly. Grabbed some pub food and craft beers at Bayside Tavern in Fish Creek before the concert.

Speaking of college friends - Keen and Lyle Lovett knocked-around a bit at Texas A&M back in the day. Keen is still going strong and last evening was no exception. It was a full-tilt and most awesome performance with his road and studio band: Rich Brotherton on guitar, Bill Whitbeck on bass, Tom Van Schaik on drums and Marty Muse on steel guitar.
If you like concerts in a totally intimate setting (trust me on this - we saw Lyle Lovett there last July) you need to checkout the events for 2017. And I owe Julie a big favor for thinking of us at the last minute.
Raising a toast to the thoughtfulness of friends and Texas-influenced, pure-bred, country music. Nashville not allowed...
