Luckenbach, Texas

Luckenbach brings to my mind a song that is sung by Waylen Jennings or Merle Haggard or maybe even the late and great Johnny Cash. The reality is a town? Of population of three. There is a bar and a place for a band and lots of dancing. Tomorrow in Luckenbach, they will celebrate Waylen's Birthday with a concert of country music singers and bands.

We visited this famous place today to visit a car show of antique, roadster, and hot rod cars. What a kick!, I constantly thought of Maurice and his love for old cars and his Ford that he treasures and takes to car shows. We saw several like his but not in as good condition, of course. We saw Thirties' coups that had been updated into powerful roadsters. Some of the paint jobs were spectacular. One Corvette in particular was just beautiful with its gold fleck maroon paint job. I enjoyed all the vintage Mustangs and missed my 1968 gold colored Mustang convertible again.

So now we can say that we have visited Luckenbach, Texas, even though we will not get to hear Johnny or Waylen or Willy. Should you go there, you can buy the shirt. I did! Happy travels.
