Song Review: Margo Price - “Shotgun Willie” (Live, May 1, 2022)

For three minutes on May 1, 2022, Margo Price was “Shotgun Willie.”

Price performed a slinky and sinewy rendition of Willie Nelson’s faux-autobiographical number during the concert in his honor that’ll be released April 28 as One Night in Texas: The Next Waltz’s Tribute to the Red Headed Stranger.

Singing with conviction, Price is in command, the band doing everything she needs it to do on this third album single that follows Ray Wylie Hubbard’s “Whiskey River” and Shinyribs’ “I Gotta Get Drunk.”

“Whoa, all right, Margo,” someone explains when it ends.

Indeed.

While visiting friends in Wylie, Texas, I couldn't contain my excitement as I embarked on my first-ever Whataburger experience. We had just spent a day at the shooting range and were beyond ready for a late lunch.

As we received the white and orange paper bags through the drive-through window, the delicious scent of sizzling burgers filled the air. I refused to wait until we got back home. The first bite was nothing short of amazing. The juicy patty, fresh ingredients, and the special sauce came together melting in my mouth.

My friends exchanged knowing glances, their smiles affirming my newfound obsession. At that moment, I felt the pride and joy of savoring a beloved Texan tradition. Whataburger had lived up to its reputation and then some, leaving me amazed and utterly satisfied. The taste of Texas had won me over, and I couldn't believe I came home to a delivery of the 3 pack of Whataburger spicy ketchup bottles from my Texan friends.

It’s mostly filmed around Austin. But anyway, this got me:

Were there any documented photos of what Candy’s house actually looked like?

That was the one thing I had trouble finding. But I knew what area it was in, outside of Dallas, so you understood that it was horse country. The important part for finding Candy's house is that we really wanted it to be in the hill country, where the roads were a bit windy and the properties were bigger.

Aaaaaaaccckk! You know Wylie is outside Dallas, but have you ever been to Dallas? No, Wylie is not in the hill country, and the roads are not windy. C’mon.

1958 Chevrolet Corvette

This 1958 Chevrolet Corvette underwent a pro-street-style metamorphosis between 2008 and 2011. It is endowed with a 383 cubic inch stroker V8 engine, harmonized with a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission, and a narrowed rear axle featuring a limited-slip differential. The rear suspension has been upgraded with a ladder-bar configuration, adjustable coilovers, and the addition of a lift-off hood. The body, painted a striking red with white coves, comes with a detachable hardtop. Inside, a roll cage has been installed along with a B&M Pro Stick shifter, a shift light, aftermarket gauges, and black Procar bucket seats. The enhancements also include dual Edelbrock carburetors, Hooker headers, side-exit exhaust pipes, 15” alloy wheels, and front disc brakes. Acquired by the current dealer in February 2024, this modified C1 Corvette is now part of the Coffee Walk Corvette Collection in Wylie, Texas, and is offered without reserve, complete with build records and a clean Pennsylvania title.

The fiberglass exterior is adorned in red with white coves and includes a removable hardtop and a lift-off hood with an integrated air scoop. A Stewart-Warner fuel-pressure gauge is mounted on the cowl, and the right-rear corner features a battery cutoff switch and external terminals. The gallery reveals cracks in the weatherstripping, pitted chrome, and paint imperfections.

Polished 15” alloy wheels are shod with 25.0×5.0” front and 29.5×11.5” rear Hoosier drag tires, installed in April 2024. A crossmember supports the rear suspension, which has been modified with ladder bars, a diagonal link, and adjustable coilovers. The braking system includes front disc brakes and rear drums.

The interior is equipped with a roll cage and Procar high-back bucket seats in black. Enhancements include a B&M Pro Stick shifter, an MSD shift light, rocker-switch controls, and fabricated metal door panels. The gallery displays flaking paint and wear on interior surfaces.

The three-spoke steering wheel is positioned in front of a 160-mph speedometer and auxiliary gauges. An AutoMeter pedestal tachometer is mounted atop the non-functional factory tachometer. Additional gauges for coolant temperature and oil pressure are located in the center console. The mechanical odometer is inoperative, and the total mileage remains unknown.

A Harwood plastic fuel cell is mounted in the trunk, which has been tubbed with fabricated aluminum panels to accommodate the rear wheels.

The 350ci V8 engine block, bored and stroked to 383ci, features four-bolt main bearings. The build includes forged pistons, ARP fasteners, a polished Edelbrock intake manifold, dual Edelbrock carburetors, an MSD ignition module, and Hooker long-tube headers that flow into side-exit exhaust pipes.

Power is transmitted to the rear wheels through a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission and a narrowed Dana 60 rear axle with a limited-slip differential.

Song Review: Ray Wylie Hubbard - “Whiskey River” (Live, May 1, 2022)

Ray Wylie Hubbard’s in-concert cover of “Whiskey River” is just perfect.

Set to a bluesy swagger with country-and-western undertones - dig the pedal steel - the track finds the gravelly Hubbard backed by a chorus of female backgrounds. And the track flows flawlessly.

It comes from the forthcoming One Night in Texas: The Next Waltz’s Tribute to the Red Headed Stranger, due April 28. The album contains the titular May 1, 2022, show that featured Nathaniel Rateliff, Margo Price, Steve Earle, Robert Earl Keen and Sheryl Crow among others.

If the other guests are even remotely as successful as Hubbard, this thing is going to smoke.

TV Shows that Make My Brain Happy

Scooby Doo has been a favorite of mine since I was a child. I watched it at lunch growing up and I still watch it when my brain needs the happy chemicals today. And I would say it doesn't matter what Scooby Doo version I watch but that isn't true.

Scrappy Doo is creepy and the live action movies nailed him as a villain.

Ok, Ok, Ok.... I know.

Feel free to judge me for this one, everyone else does lol but Mountain Monsters makes my brain SO MUCH DAMN SEROTONIN. Its like the Spanish version of the Jim Adler the Texas Hammer commercial. All the tickles so happy. Its a dumb show, a bunch of hillbillies from Appalachia trying to catch Bigfoot in traps nee Wylie Coyote. Its fun.

Have you ever seen someone just "copy paste" something that worked and it just missed the mark? I still like the show, mainly because of the beauty of the Alaskan backdrop but this show was WEIRD and that's coming from me.

This is one of the best live action survival television shows ever. Period. Hard stop. No arguments will be accepted. Masters of survival, Terry Schappert - special forces, Jake Zweig - Navy Seal, John Hudson - RAF SERE instructor, and Matt Graham - "primitive" skills, take turns kidnapping each other and dropping the "victim" in a remote location where they have 100 hours to find civilization. Its a lot of fun and I've introduced this show to everyone I know because they have never heard of it.

This was an awesome show but Netflix dropped the ball. She has her own YouTube and patreon now so go check her out. She does elaborate DIYS and makes creepy and kooky a lifestyle choice. She is motivation incarnate.

These are my streaming happy chemical producers. Honorable mentions also include: The A-Team, Psych, Murder She Wrote, Tremors the Series, River Monsters, and the Addams Family.

What are your favorite TV Shows? I'm also ways mining for dopamine and searching for serotonin.

GALTx eNews: Early Giving Is Open!

Early giving for North Texas Giving Day is now open! North Texas Giving Day is always one of GALT’s biggest fundraisers. We count on a successful day to help pay the bills for the hounds that come to us in need of veterinary care all year long. To help us make the most of the event, our North Texas Giving Day Matching Fund Heroes are matching up to $15,000 in donations made by midnight on September 21, 2023.  

Last year, we shared with you about the hounds coming to us from a landfill who were in dire need of help. Thanks to your gifts, they received the care they needed and are now finding their forever homes. Since then, we have welcomed several more hounds needing extensive medical care including Wylie, Acme, Beep, and Cliff, who came from an Oklahoma shelter in rough shape. Sadly, Wylie passed away in our loving care. Acme and Cliff are, however, on the road to recovery, and Beep has already found his forever home! Recently, we also welcomed Twyla and Jenny to our Injured Reserve family. Twyla lived the stray life for far too long. She came to us severely underweight and with a host of medical issues including a bad case of mange. She has already regained enough strength to receive her heartworm treatment and is on the road to recovery. Jenny came to us with a broken leg requiring expensive surgery. She is now resting quietly and healing in a foster home. 

We don’t know who will come to us next. Whatever the circumstances, we are committed to being here for the next hounds in need so that they can have happy endings too. We need your North Texas Giving Day gifts to remain ready. 

In addition to qualifying for matching, gifts made on the North Texas Giving Day website are eligible for monetary awards from the program organizers, so we hope you’ll give there. But if you prefer to give on our website, your gifts to the Dr. E. Kelly Nitsche Veterinary Care Fund will also qualify for the matching through September 21, 2023. 

Give today to be a part of a happy ending. We can’t do it without you!

Give Here!
