I wish I could feed you a line. Perhaps a delicious story of personal discovery and relationship deconstructions/reconstructions that led to a WaCo Ramblers reunion. I wish I could, but it would not be totally forthcoming. Although there are all those juicy details lurking in the closets of each Rambler’s psyche, they had very little to do with our reunion. And yes, there are conflicting sides to the backstory of how the Ramblers disappeared in the first place.
Those are the more unpleasant subjects rarely broached even among friends. Therefore, I will tell you the Gawl’s honest truth. The WaCo Ramblers are reuniting for a show because Bud Dillard is coming into town from California, where he now resides, for his high school buddy’s wedding. Dan Costello will be in town form North Carolina where he now resides. Knowing I had those two dudes in town, I asked all the boys if they wanted to do a big reunion show.
All were in agreement save one. That was enough to dig out the old boots and spurs and saddle up. So far, the response to the idea is pretty reassuring. We are going to do the show on Sunday Oct. 21 at 6 p.m. It will be appropriately venued at Pandora’s (in Grayton Beach).
They are expecting a big crowd. We moved it to earlier in the day to try and entice more of our more established fans who have responsibilities on Monday morning. Hopefully, it goes off without a hitch. I’m going to try and feature all of the new projects that spun out of WaCo steam power (Owsley Brothers, Tennessee Firearms, Red Rocket and the Special Needs Band). It should be a great night of some really fun music and fellowship with old friends.
