We passed a good time at the Blue Moon Saloon, last night, where Horace Trahan and the New Ossun Express were rockin' the crowd. Here's a little clip of the rowdy crowd, cutting the rug on The Back Porch. Grab a cold one and crank it up for this one, cher, and let the good times roll!
Hope ya'll have a great summer weekend, filled with fun! Merci beaucoup for coming by!

Crumbs! didn't expect another meal today! LOL You know I think I'll have to re-name you Edesia who is "Goddess" of Food, presiding over banquets. I think her best friend was Bibesia, the Goddess of Drink. LOL Hope you have/had an very enjoyable weekend and managed to find some sun after your recent wet weather. Oh! I know the song, "Shake, Rattle and Roll" very well. I thing a group called Bill Hayley and the Comets did it light years ago LOL
