Mesquite Hall, Adkins, TX

This venue has a reputation of not having air conditioning. This gig 
was a "Back to School" dance with a family-oriented theme. Unfortunately, 
there wasn't a big crowd. I'm grateful that we weren't being paid by 
the door. The people who did come stayed for the entire night.

During the first break, somebody came up to me asking to pick my brain 
about a steel guitar he had inherited. He showed me the pictures, and 
it was an old MSA Red Baron student steel guitar, a single neck 
10-string with 3 pedals and 1 knee lever. He was asking about more 
info on it, and a possible price to sell it. I referred him to The 
Steel Guitar Forum (https://steelguitarforum.com) for more info. In my 
46 years of playing, that was the first time somebody came up to me to 
ask about a guitar.

We got through the night just fine. I will say that I liked the sound 
my rig was producing. The room is large enough to let me "air things 
out" a bit. ;)
