Jerry Jeff Walker Birthday Bash

As usual, Jerry Jeff Walker returned to Gruene Hall to celebrate his birthday.  Just like last year, we had a table near the front of the hall for the great show.  For all those who wonder how we get such "preferential" treatment for these sold-out shows, the secret is to log onto the JJW website the minute that the virtual ticket window opens.  It's worked two years in a row.

The "man"  ambled into the hall just as I was checking out the tee shirt table, and I was able to get a close-up shot:

As I wrote last year, Gruene Hall is the perfect venue for Jerry Jeff's music: it is old, funky, and loaded with posters and pictures of performances over the years--not to mention neon beer signs of all the favorite Texas brews. Here are some of the satisfied patrons:



All eyes, of course, were on center stage, where there was great music--and two stepping in the aisles.


Yes, we will be back next year--and as long as Jerry Jeff chooses to celebrate his birthday at Gruene Hall.
