Sunday morning
I have a rare Sunday off today! I had to pay for it though, worked 12 hours yesterday and I will be working the holiday tomorrow!
My neighbor added a 6th pit bull to his family! SIX! It’s a cute little puppy named Ruby. He told me he is moving next month back to Florida, where he doesn’t have to deal with HOA’s. Our HOA has a 2 dog limit and they have been after him since he moved in.
If not for the dogs he would be the perfect neighbor. He is a good dog owner and they are all good doggies but pit bulls will always put fear in people if they get loose.
The even more ferocious hummingbirds are out fighting around the feeder. They provide hours of entertainment.
The recent rains have brought life to the raised beds, looks like I might have some harvesting to do.
It is so nice on the back porch this morning! I have good coffee,hummingbird entertainment, Hayes Carll on the speaker box, and a good looking woman to enjoy it with me!

Documentary aims to tell history of storied Galveston music venue
The Galveston Daily News published an article today on a documentary that’s going to be made about the Old Quarter! There’s a paywall but i’ve put the article under the cut :)

GALVESTON
The music, the memories, the myth — that’s what a group of musicians hopes to preserve about the storied Old Quarter Acoustic Cafe through a new project.
“I really didn’t know the history,” owner Joel Mora said. “There’s a very rich history.”
The small, intimate music venue, 413 20th St., has seen Americana greats like Ray Wylie Hubbard and Samuel “Lightnin’” Hopkins pass through its doors, but documented history about the venue is scarce, Mora said.
While hanging out after a show with a few other Old Quarter-faithful musicians, the idea developed, he said.
“We’ve got to do a documentary,” Mora said.
Mora and the others involved in the project hope the documentary effort will preserve the largely oral history of a venue well-known in music circles and help inspire the young artists it welcomes through its door.
Exactly where to start will be hard to decide, Mora said.
“The characters that have come through here, the stories I have heard — it’s wild.” Mora said.
Mora and his wife, Angela, bought the Old Quarter in 2017 from previous owner Rex “Wrecks” Bell, a veteran musician who played bass guitar for legendary folk singer Townes Van Zandt, among others.
Bell had been a partner in the original Houston venue, which closed in the late 1970s. Bell reopened the Old Quarter in Galveston in 1996.
It was an easy decision to get involved in the project, said Samuel Barker, who also is working on the project. Barker is a musician and a professional visual and audio producer.
“I’ve got to tell the story of the Old Quarter,” Barker said. “It’s kind of why you write songs: to tell the story of something that inspires you.”
The venue is special because it focuses on songwriting and the power of emotion, he said.
“You get the people who created the song doing the songs exactly how they were written,” Barker said.
The group still is in early stages of the project, Mora said.
The team has conducted some interviews, such as with Bell, but wants to get more conversations with some of the musicians, such as Lisa Morales and Hayes Carll, who’ve played frequently at the venue, and bartenders who worked the shows for years, he said.
There are some key pieces of history to talk about, Mora said.
The early days of the venue had some crazy stories about fun nights in the venue’s backroom, Barker said. For aspiring musicians, getting asked into the back with Bell was an honor, he said.
“It was always a rite of passage,” Barker said. “Rex pulled you into the backroom because you actually played well enough.”
The team also plans to touch on Hurricane Ike in 2008, the effects of the pandemic and a mid-2000s lawsuit by Starbucks Coffee Co. over a trademark dispute against Bell’s microbrew Star Bock Beer.
The downtown island venue always has had a connection to Van Zandt, and every Jan. 1 hosts a wake honoring the singer-songwriter.
The story of the wake, which draws visitors from around the country, is one of the many topics that needs to be told, said John Stoll, a musician and professional video producer who also is working on the project.
Those kinds of stories about important artists or venues are key for young singers, he said.
“You’re a young musician, you see a documentary about a band and it changes your life,” Stoll said.
The team isn’t exactly sure how long the documentary project will take, Mora said. The team wants to take its time, but Mora thinks it will be popular among people who love Americana.
“The people that are into it are really into it,” Mora said. “They would just eat this stuff up.”
What he most hopes to capture is how special the place has been for the music community, he said.
“This place, to me, was like a beacon,” Mora said. “It just became this beacon of light. It just draws great musicians.”
