MT Lane Band

Well it happened about a year ago. I was at the golf course here in Lubbock and this guy who plays there a lot was showing a video of him playing music in a bar in town and commenting on the play of this mandolin player . So out of curiosity l asked where he was playing and he said the Pub 50 club and I said I didn’t know there where bars that let old people play. Then he said the Pub 50 does so I asked if it would be all right if I came by some time and sit in he said sure. That was over a year ago and now we are playing there twice a month and at other places. We have a cajon player that I meet at the golf course also and invited to play with us.
    So about the name the guitar play and lead singer is Mike Trammel that’s the M then there is me Tom Pearson the bass player and backup singer the T last is Leon Lane the cajon player so he is the Lane. I came up with the name MT Lane as a play on words Empty Lane kind of like memory lane but our memories are empty We are so old we can’t remember nothing. 63 60 58 So you can see we are a little passed our prime we have a good time so check us out on Facebook mtlaneband all one word.

Golf tounament

Well it’s the Memorial Day weekend again and time for the annual Reece Golf tournament. I played in it last year but this time I had to pass cause with most things in life when money is envolved the fix is in. That is right money corrupts everything it comes in contact with. You know all the sand baggers pay off the tournament director with a small bribe and there you go you have guys who can really play with guys who just are out there to have fun. It’s the same everywhere you go.
    But on the bright side I am playing music at the party this Saturday with my two compadres Mike Trammel and Leon Lane clectively know as the Empty Lane Band . We have been doing gigs around town for about s year now. We do a classic country show with some old rock and roll songs thrown in  and some light comedy. So it will be a fun time had by all or most the ones who do not play well that day will be mad no matter what so that will be my Memorial Day weekend I hope you have a good one also.
