Huntsville, TX
We closed off this short spell of a run at the execution capital of the United States, where a famous comedian once said they were putting in express lanes for the death penalty, Huntsville, and for those of you who don’t know, that’s just north of Houston. We are back at the Jolly Fox, and it looks like they have made some improvements with remodeling a portion of the place that is now the One Leg Crow, leaving the JF only open for concerts. There are no more pool tables, being replaced with booths and tables, but added the smallest shuffle board table known to man. The days are warm, and the nights are cold, the signs of approaching holidays are popping up all around, as we saw Huntsville City crews putting up Christmas lights downtown. We had an issue with power (electricity) and had to wait for a power distribution supply to be brought up from Houston, so a built in delay was what we had to deal with, and we took the opportunity to get in some pain at the torture chamber before a quick dinner at Humphrey’s in the meantime. Stoney and I laughed about the damage on the adjacent building, that was caused by a friend of ours about 7 years ago, and no attempt was made to repair the falling roof so far. Not really a lot to mention of the typical day, pretty routine, and this is the second day in a row of being in search of a hot tub, but was unsuccessful. Brison Bursey was on the bill with us for the show again, and played until we hit the stage at 11:30 to a full house. We had an interesting introduction from JF owner, George, and just rocked on in the normal life changing way. Huntsville police were over eager in their attempts to find trouble, wreaking havoc in the parking lot, and took those less fortunate away for a ride down the road. We thank all you folks for getting out after the football games and coming down for some music, and helping putting fuel in our tank. We hope you had a great time and made it home safely. Have a great week, we’ll see you down the road……..elstevo
