When two steppin' is done correctly you get a chance to enjoy the music, use that beautiful body God gave you and connect with a new friend. Note, I don't meen "connect" in a weird way...if it is a true dance partner you just follow their lead, sing along with some great music and two step your way to bliss.
Too often honky tonks are associated with too much beer and fist fights. I will admit whole heartedly that I have found more love, compassion and true friendship in a honky tonk then anywhere else in my days. I say that out loud in public and people act like I am crazy. The beauty of true Texas honky tonk is that if that is where you are standing, you know who your standing with. There is no need to say who you "are" and what you "believe"...it is just understood...we all love good Texas Music, a cold beveridge (be it a soda, Lone Star, ice tea or chardine) and that is that.
So tonight I send out a special thank you to my new friend Tommy. He is a man I met at The Broken Spoke tonight. He was close to 80 years old, he had tremors you could feel a mile away, but danced like there was no tomorrow and he told me "Girl, you got it all...I will remember this the rest of my life...".
I say to that..."Tommy, thank you for taking the time to ask me to dance, and I'll remember it the rest of my life as well." Life is precious, and there is only one thing you can't get back and that is time. What a gift Tommy chose to share with me...and I'll just say it...he was a great dance to boot! (even if his boots hurt so much he had to dance in his socks).
Life is good, I feel blessed to have had the chance to meet Two Steppin' Tommy tonight. So there you go, my thoughts on religion! IT IS ALL ABOUT LOVE AIN'T IT????
