09. Amazing Places: Luckenbach, Texas.

5/23/2022

 
Picture
When I first moved to Arizona in the 1970's, I slept on the floor of a buddy's house. Every morning he'd blast a mix tape with the song "Luckenbach Texas" on it. Since he and I had both grown up in Michigan - home of Motown and Detroit Rock - I complained, "Why are you playing all this hillbilly music?!?". He responded, "Hey, it's Waylon and Willie and the Boys", which meant absolutely nothing to me. Well, a few months later, I started liking the song - and the genre - and bought me some boots and a cowboy hat and tried to look Urban Cowboy cool. And all that brings me to what a thrill it was to actually visit legendary Luckenbach Texas bar, dance hall and post office...and of course, sing this song...

Let's go to Luckenbach, Texas
With Waylon and Willie and the boys
This successful life we're livin'
Got us feuding like the Hatfields and McCoys
