re: Turnpike Troubadours in Baton Rouge

because people used to take pride in what they looked like

Never mention a word about any show until it's a done deal and your retainer is paid.


I hope for your sake they dont sign radius clauses, which is bullshite for the bands.

Well it is a sweet fricking vest

i dont follow this board enough to know if one of you two guys works at the local live music venues whether m+w or varsity, but one of you guys should try to get will hoge down here again.

I know his manager personally. He tried to get him down here a year ago but no one wanted to book him.

Sad, because Will's great, but it doesn't surprise me. I wouldn't think too many people in the BR area know who he is.

It would be cool if he were scheduled to open for Wade Bowen or something...they have that song together and it would give him a little more exposure...but Wade JUST played the TX Club so it will be awhile before he makes it back down there.

"another song nobody will hear"

I wake up in the darkness, the clock says 3 AM
There's a war raging inside me, so I reach for my old friend
The one who's always been there, to make the pain all disappear
I write another song, another song nobody will hear

This damn guitar knows all my secrets, all my broken dreams
All the joy and all the laughter that I have ever seen
The one who stood beside me, been together all these years
Let's write another song, another song nobody will hear

Another song about redemption, another song of broken trust
Another song about those golden rings that turned to rust
I got pages full of memories, I can see them all so clear
I write another song, another song nobody will hear

I came down here to Nashville with a million tales to tell
The first thing that I found out was that the truth don't always sell
They want songs about the back roads, and tractors, trucks and beers
While I write another song, another song nobody will hear

Another song like George and Tammy, another song like Bill Monroe
Another song you'll never hear on country radio
I got pages full of memories, I can see them all so clear
I write another song, another song nobody will hear
I write another song, another song nobody will hear


that's some powerful stuff

Great fricking verse

I like Hoge. First song of his I ever heard was Goddamn California.
