I sometimes miss my shit kickin’ days. Growing up here in Minnysnowda we had two kinds of dancin’ music played at every wedding reception. Bride and groom could both be Polish, or it could be an interracial marriage, one could be German - it wouldn’t matter.
Anywhoo, after the nuptials were said there would be a reception, followed by a dance, where the band would be a Polka band - which is a accordion and a tuba - or a Country and Western Swing band with guitar, fiddle, and the guy with the harmonica also had a tambourine.
As a young boy I loved these dances because the beer did flow and everyone drank! My point being, this here group called the Zac Brown Band, is a country band from Georgia. They do a lot of concerts and are scheduled to be at the U of M’s Northrop Auditorium come December.... That means they are good Folks!
I always like seeing southern people, when they get here and it's 50 below windchill, roads closed from a “Northerner”. They are in shock! Having heard the song Toes, we here in this winter wonderland love to hear any song with reference to a beach, sun, and sand!
”Are they singing about Mexico?”
“ Yeah, didn't you hear that Vaya Con Dios?”
“Jeez I'd sure like to go there!”
“I would too, but I heard it's dangerous!”
“Yeah I guess you’re right!”
“You would have to leave your car at The Minneapolis Airport. I heard you could get hijacked and never be seen again.”
“Yeah, or I could get their CD and wait for it to warm up in 6 months.” Ok see you in the spring.
My Ass in the sand, and my Toes in the Water! Rat
