4-21-07 Helotes, TX (a new day!)

So, Helotes Texas. A jewel of a community. A jewel of a venue. We are at Floore’s Country Store. What a turn around from yesterday. We all really like this place. They have (now) a full time kitchen that serves up some of the best tamales, and queso ever. Everyone is pro, and excited to be doing shows here. The gig is a 3,500 capacity back yard, and is famous because John T Floore got Willie Nelson his start. The dressing room was actaully Willie’s bedrom for 5 or so years.

It is 87 degrees, hot and humid.

$100 Fine for Fighting: Back in the 70’s when this place was a through and through honky tonk, there plenty of fights. There was a $100 fine. Soon enough, if it was going to go down, you would slap a benjamin on the bar and let it rip!
