This
past weekend found us back at the Red River Revel on Saturday to hear some Arkansas musicians, the four time Grammy-nominated Trout Fishing in America, followed by Dana Louise and the Glorious Birds. Dana Louise is the daughter of one of
the Trout Fishing musicians, and both the guys play in her band. Follow the links to hear some of the music of Trout Fishing and Dana Louise.

In addition to music, there was more eating--etouffee for Ricky and Zwolle tamales for me. Okay, I confess, we also ate ice cream but only to provide the energy needed to browse through the other half of the artist tents that we hadn't seen before.
We then went home to watch another Tennessee football game. The pixie dust was blowing hither and yon, but Tennessee lost to Texas A & M in the second overtime. Note to the Vols: You can’t turn over the ball 7 times in a game and hope to win.

On
Sunday after a brunch of pancakes with strawberries and whipped cream at one of
our popular neighborhood diners, Ricky and I headed out to the Highland
Open Studio Tour Sunday (HOSTS) event, admiring the art at four studios. I bought a gorgeous silk
shawl embedded with felted leaves from Fibre to Felt Wearable Art. I’m looking forward to wearing it this fall.

After HOSTS, we headed home to chill (literally and figuratively) before attending
the Shreveport House Concert in our neighborhood. Sunday night’s concert featured Grammy-nominated Hawaiian
slack-key guitarist, singer, songwriter Stephen Inglis. At the concert, we learned that slack-key is
a specific way of tuning and playing a guitar.
Inglis featured many of songs he wrote, but he also covered other
artists. Inglis was born and raised in
Hawaii and speaks Hawaiian so he also sings traditional Hawaiian songs as part
of his repertoire.

Ricky and I feel our dance
cards are plenty full in Shreveport. I know we are baby boomers,
which designates our age bracket, but it seems to us that Shreveport in the fall is
a happening place.
:) Love me some Zwolle tamales and Natchitoches meat pies!
ReplyDeleteFinding something to eat in Louisiana is never difficult!
DeleteShreveport sounds to me like a happenin' place in the fall, as well.
ReplyDeleteMy husband introduced me to Trout Fishing in America nearly 30 years ago so I know them well. And I LOVE your new shawl!!!
I'm so glad you are a fan of Trout Fishing. Were you familiar with Dana Louise? She's as tall as her dad, Ezra, and funny.
