Brownsville, Texas area

JW Day · Post by **JW Day** » 8 Jan 2006 6:18 pm

I'm planning on loading the motor home and heading to a warmer climate for the winter months. Naturally I'll have to have room for the steel and was wondering if anything much is going on in the Brownsville area. Not looking for a gig,just a place to park for a month or so and A good jam or club to hear some good ole' swing or country. Would like to meet some of you local steelers while in the area. JW Day

You might want to look up Lee Baucum. He lives in McAllen, just up the road from Brownsville.

Warmer climates? When does it get cold in Kentucky? It's just about springtime here in West Texas.

Bob, Give me a time an address, and we'll be there. I met one of you steelers at B-Green a while back playing a LDG, Would that have been you sir? If so, We certainly enjoyed the music. It was at Franklin,Ky.

I'm at my job, about 14 miles West of Hebbronville, not too far from the Rio Grande. (Somewhere back this-a-way from Laredo). Not quite Brownsville, by any means, but it is in the upper 70's, with just a slightly cloudy sky, and a "just right" breeze in the air. This is definitely the time to be in South Texas!

Lee would know, if anybody knows, that's for sure.

Well, it's almost 5:30 in the evening here and it has cooled down to 78 degrees. I hope that's warm enough for you JW!

If you're going to be in Brownsville, look up Lee Holeman. He's a steeler that lives in Port Isabel, which is a short drive from Brownsville. He posts on the Forum every now and then, so you should be able to find his e-mail address.
