Tennessee been oh so good to us

Howdy friends and fellow travelers! We’re up and functional this fine Tennessee mornin from our hotel in Memphis, following another fun-filled night of music and mayhem with friends Hillbilly Casino, and new/old friend Elvis and his Three Bad Jacks! Turns out Jorge knew Elvis from way back when in his Los Angeles days, of course, of course… and Elvis swore he knew me from somewhere too, can’t rightly say where or when though!

Three Bad Jacks had to hit the road right after playing an early short set so they could drive to Georgia by 7am, damn… So the Snakehandlers and Hillbilly Casino shook the rafters after losing the roof to an ear-splitting and crazy wild set by the Three Bad Jacks! And Jorge and I joined Nik and the gents again for another rabble-rousing rendition of ‘Let’s Duet’, which brought out the best in all of us, I promise!

I believe there may be more of this sort of thing in the future, between the Snakehandlers and Hillbilly Casino- maybe some recording? Shows certainly, and possibly, who knows what all else? Hell, Nik and I even wore matching outfits last night, it was embarrassing! Except for I figure he’s like a little brother I never had, so that works out alright, Osmond-wise.

One more thing we love about Tennessee- only here would you be able to buy a mandolin, banjo or guitar at the local highway truckstop!!

Next we’re in Little Rock at Sticky Fingerz, then off to Dallas at the Granada Theater, and all points Texas from there.

We look forward to seeing you all down the road some. Until then, be good! Or not, Ruby Dee
