Like I said, there was a really big crowd both in and outside of Kicks. One guy came in and ordered "Three beers and an ice tea" Then he said he drank an ice tea once and got sick, so that is why he now drinks beer.
The Alabama-Tennessee girls softball game was on and at first was really boring with the Tide up 7-0. It is amazing how fast those girls can throw that softball underhanded like that. Then the game got interesting before the Vols ended up losing 7-6.
Next stop was Schenk's Garage after we drove slowly by all those great old cars out on 66 for the car show. I got to see the 67 Firebird and a '68 as well. Made my day.
A 3-piece rockabilly group calling themselves Hillbilly Jones was already playing out in the driveway by the time we got there. If there ever was a group to play better out by the old road, I'd sure like to know who they might be. We enjoyed them so much we ended up staying till they quit.
They've released four CDs since they got together in 2002 and are working on their fourth, but unfortunately they didn't have any with them. The music is great, frenetic and professionally done, but half the fun is their presence. They occasionally change instruments during a song, have all sorts of jokes and the stand-up base player is prone to play it behind his head.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
