this past fri nite i was in the company of greatness. jerry jeff and willie played here in waco and it was a magical nite. i know this is one of those concert 15 years from now i will be able to say that i saw. it was incredible.
seeing jerry jeff up on stage reminded me of the nite that i had the best sleep ever. as some of you know and i guess everyone else will now know, i have become friends with django over the past year and half. django was playing at hills cafe one nite last summer and i had the opportunity to go to the show with him. afterwards we went and grabbed something to eat at magnolia and he said i could crash at his house if i wanted. now as a kid growing up in high school the highlight of the year was going to the fair in october every year to see jerry jeff play. and to have the opportunity to hang out with him as an older person is one that i couldnt pass on. well django informed me that i would be sleeping on the third floor. i go into “my room” and it is ice cold. i love sleeping in cold conditions. not only was it ice cold, it was pitch black. there was not a stitch of light penetrating the windows in this room. it was as close to a third floor cave that exisited.
