Jessie Jane's - Justiceberg, TX - May 2007
last stop on the may tour; hwy 84 south of lubbock (bfe) 
this night was a highlight; never what we expected from a one-building town in the middle of nowhere 
very cool place, outdoor stage, where we started, but storms moved us inside, cozy 
beautiful sunset, pre-thunderstorm 
the bar; lots of dollar bills tacked to the ceiling. they are rich :) 
as the night moved on, the music enlivened the crowd more 
El DeOrazio rockin those drums 
okay, now we've got them dancing on the bar. 
it's memorial weekend, school is out, party is on 
getting the groove on, it takes all kinds, and all ages 
jam session ensues with member of the crowd 
Melissa, singin' her heart out 
El DeOrazio takes to the guitar 
while Melissa takes to the drums 
Melissa with the infamous, Ms. Jessie Jane, to whom we are grateful for having us share music. It was a truly epic night |
