Last year, Michael discovered that he could get into Billy Bob’s, Fort Worth’s famous honky tonk, on Thursday nights for free.

He and Sam went together this Thursday, sort of an end-of-summer celebration. Both start classes this week. They were lucky this time, Michael reports, because the cover band kept playing. At one point, they played a family favorite, Stevie Ray Vaughan’s Texas Flood.

Sam reports that he had fun and would like to go again soon. “People always have fun at Billy Bob’s,” he said. It took a while to figure out what was going on, he said. He danced with one girl.

Michael danced with the same girl.
