Ben and I went to the World Street Kitchen for dinner and then to the Uptown VFW to see Dale Watson on Thursday night and the show was good but not as good as those I have seen in the past. My impression was that he was drinking too much, telling too many stories, and not playing as much music. He does this thing during his show with a little lick and and an advertisement for Lone Star Beer and that leads to someone buying the band a round of tequila. There were several of those plus who knows what before the show. Regardless, I was glad that Ben was willing to go with me.
