Got this from Standard Deluxe today. Keep Loachapoka Weird!

This Saturday night, November 7th, 2009
please join us to welcome
Woody Pines back to Fred’s Pickin’ Parlor in historic down town Loachapoka, Alabama.
Also performing that evening will be special guests
HONKYTONK AMNESIA & GYPSY BLUES BELLYDANCE.
Everything gets going about 7 pm.

DO NOT have that dang-I-should-have-gone feeling about this show!
It’s going to be hot, guaranteed. If you missed Woody and Nathan and Zack last time please take a moment to check out some the new songs from their new album at http://www.myspace.com/woodypines to get the flava. However, please be reminded that there is no substitution for seeing this band live in a venue like FRED’s.
WOODY PINES plays 20′s & 30′s Jump and Jugband Blues / Old Country/ Ragtime/ Jazz on resonator guitar, upright bass, stripped down drum kit & kazoo/harmonica & voice. This venue is absolutely PERFECT for this band (and vice versa)

We are also very excited to welcome HONKY AMNESIA to Fred’s for the first time. Honkytonk Amnesia is the latest outing for local/national/planetary musician extraordinaire Uncle Roy Shultz. For some tunes and a complete bio of this important Auburn Musician please check out http://www.theuncleroyshow.com
Uncle Roy is joined onstage by his son Jonas Schultz on Keys, Country Kenny Brown on Pedal Steel, Guitar, and Willie Austin Gray on Guitar.
Come on Early for a big dose of Hard Country and Hillbilly Boogie!!!

As always, keepin’ the culture fresh is always on the tip for STANDARD DELUXE, FRED’s and PAPA D’s and with that in mind, please help us give a warm welcome to GYPSY BLUES BELLYDANCE Troupe. Gypsy Blues is Auburn’s premiere tribal fusion belly dance company; they are a student performing troupe created by Instructor/Performer Seraphima. Gypsy Blues pulls their inspiration from the Jazz/Blues era of the 1920′s and mixes it with a touch of Southern Charm; Bohemian Style.

STANDARD DELUXE will have a display of Extra-Fine T-Shirts, Posters
and Other Goodies For Sale. Plan to pick up a Gift or Two !

Of course PAPA D’s SUPER GRILLE will be on hand with warm goods for the belly and soul Come Hungry! Brown Bags and SMALL Coolers are welcome.
Band Donation at Door $10.00 / $5.00 with student ID

We found out about the Lee County Gathering too late to enjoy most of it, but Priscilla, Julie and I did go over to watch the Contra-Dance at the Loachapoka Community Center.

Then we went over to Fred’s Feed and Seed to sit and sample a few craft beers.

One of the ladies who’d been at the dance brought her bagpipes and played for us.

A very unique and enjoyable experience on a Saturday night when we didn’t have anything else planned.

Julie, Priscilla and I went to Fred’s Feed & Seed in Loachapoka last night to check out the weekly bluegrass jam session, and we had a great time.

Here’s a picture gallery from last night and also some day time pics of part of the area surrounding Fred’s store.

If you live near Loachapoka, check it out, and support Fred.
