Longnecks and the ice house; RC Colas and Moon Pies; the jukebox and
early Ronnie Millsap; denim and neon; the back seat of an extended cab
F-250 and a Neiman Marcus shop girl; catfish and pistols: some things,
when you put em together, make something as bona fide and beautiful as
Texas itself.
Dave Wrangler and Lee Walker first crossed trails at the Make Your Own
Sundae Dessert Station in the K-Bob's Country Buffet in Twitty, Texas.
Mr. Walker, waiting patient as an Apache behind Mr. Wrangler, who was
taking considerable time occupying both soft-serve nozzles in his
creation of his trademark Dusty Double-Dutch Rainbow Swirl, found
himself troubled by his inability to keep a boot tappin' rhythm to the
synthetic, glitched-out bubble-gum redneck-pop broadcasting across the
dining area. As Mr. Walker silently bemoaned the sad state of affairs
that has befallen the contemporary era of his beloved Country and
Western music, a noble but delicate tear streamed down his
weatherburned cheek. Portentously, not a lonesome heartbeat passed
before the tear was soldierly, yet tenderly blotted away by a Willie
Nelson bandana in the service of Mr. Wrangler, who offered
commiseration and brotherhood with his wise and earnest words, "Now, I
know times are tough, and let me assure you I'd just assume head back
to roughneckin' in Pasadena before I'd ever sip on a cappucina with
one of these uptown dandy Nashville new jacks!" A bond as strong as
epoxy putty was immediately forged. Since that morning in Twitty, Mr.
Wrangler and Mr. Walker - "Vinyl Ranch," collectively - have
diskjockey'd their way from the Piney Woods to the Panhandle and
countless juke joints and dancehalls in between, bringing with them
the gritty country glamour of a not so distant era, when neon sparkled
like the Dome's Diamond Vision in the smoky honky tonk, when a young
bronco was never too drunk to ask a lady to boot-scoot, and Grey Goose
was something you hunted at your cousin's lease.
Notable gigs have included: The Greater Lufkin Annual Children's Fair
and Gun Show, The Blanco County "Sassy Seniors" VFW Fish Fry, The
Official Katy High School Powder-Puff Tailgate Social, Jenna Bush's
21st Birthday "Purrrrin' Penthouse" Party and, most recently
"Houston's Smallest Country Dancefloor" at Leon's Lounge.

We've got another show just around the corner. It's on 9/11. Yes September 11th. This show is going to be a celebration of America, freedom, and each and everyone one of us' (you included) right to a little American debauchery. There will be kick @ss music, plenty of drinkin, plenty of salutes to all of our troops here and all over the world and a few moments of silence for those who are no longer with us. So let's celebrate and do this thang right!

Bring yer devil horns and a thirst for the greatest invention known to man...beer! Oh, and rock and roll! ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCK!!!!! -Aaron "Dusty" Gringo (el Jefe)
So, just like old folks, I believe that music should be given respect. We celebrate people who retire with parties, but what do we do for the music that we retire from our Vinyl/CD collections, or top playlists, or whatever your specific preference is?? I decided that I would celebrate tracks that I no longer foresee myself playing at gigs by presenting the “5 ON IT” Mix Series. Each time around, I will select 5 tracks that have put a smile on my face along with many others.
