The guitar player was gulping wine between tunes, overdressed for the occasion. Italian chords and nylon strings. Chick singer sang creamy notes. Straight rows of vines, umbrellas shading the sun. Bluest sky of the year, perfectly cool breeze.
Texas Hill Country vibe with complex, simple tastes. Tannins, fruits, aromatic stimulation. Balance. Set your pace in the middle. Keep the mood light, keep the lights dim.
Watch for deer and smokies on the way back from Austin. Especially at 1 am. The Saxon Pub on Monday night should not be missed. Then Donn's Depot, where that sweet keys player who played with Glen Campbell plays 'til midnight. Name droppers all over that town.
