So I strolled across old Main Street
Walked down a flying of stairs
Stepped into the hall
And saw all my friends were in that location
A neon sign was flashin', "Welcome, come up on in"
It feels so good feelin' good again

— Feelin' Good Over again past Robert Earl Keen

WACO – We saturday exterior at the Backyard Grill and Stage, along with a few hundred other folks on a gorgeous spring evening, virtually to indulge in something that has not been possible for more than fifteen months – listening to live music. We had reserved seats at a picnic tabular array with four strangers, who rapidly introduced themselves as nosotros waited for the opening act, Waylon Payne. He played guitar and sang solo, then asked the oversupply, "How many of y'all have never heard of me?" Most easily shot up, including his and ours.

Information technology turns out Payne comes by his musical chops through genetics (and a lot of hard work). His mom was Sammi Smith, who had a blast hit with a Kris Kristofferson song: Help Me Make it Through the Night. His dad was Jody Payne, guitarist for Willie Nelson for decades. Both are now deceased. Payne had a rough childhood, living with a strict aunt and uncle in Vidor while his parents toured. While largely unknown, his songs have been recorded by Lee Ann Womack, Miranda Lambert, Charlie Robinson, and others.

The highlight of his prepare came at the end, when Payne went to his guitar instance and pulled out Petey, his beloved Chihuahua, who joined him in an onstage song, both howling into the mic. Throughout Payne's set, Petey curled up on his plaid blanket and slept until summoned. He'due south a skillful boy.

My Cute Mystery Companion came upwardly with the thought of driving iii hours to Waco to gloat our 10thursday wedding anniversary a week early. I am a lucky man; she puts upward with me. We both are blessed and grateful to come up through the other side of the pandemic in adept wellness, fully vaccinated for more than iii months. Seeing noted vocaliser-songwriter Robert Earl Keen as our first live concert sounded perfect, and Waylon Payne was an added treat. Especially Petey.

Robert Earl Not bad walked onstage, nodded and smiled, and the concert began. As ever, his band was highly polished. At 65, Keen has been performing to appreciative audiences for more than than iii decades, with his flat baritone voice and songs that oftentimes sound like mini films, telling stories of a newlywed couple taking a rowboat across the Rio Grande in Gringo Honeymoon, or a hapless criminal couple on the run from the law, in The Road Goes on Forever.

What struck me well-nigh this concert was the wide age range of fans gathered under the live oak trees. In that location were a couple groups of teen-agers, too immature to legally drink and sipping sodas, singing along with nearly every vocal. Then in that location were couples clearly in their 70s if not older, also singing forth to songs rarely heard on the radio save for scattered culling music stations.

There was a genuine feeling of joy that night, equally friends hugged. Our tabular array mates said this was also the first live-music event they had intended since the pandemic began early last year. During the obligatory three-vocal encore, Not bad smiled at the crowd cheering and whooping it upwards, and said something to the event of, "I can feel your enthusiasm and that it is genuine, the existent matter." And it was genuine, that feeling of freedom, of life — at least for many — returning to normal. That doesn't diminish the 18-carat suffering of far too many, whether from COVID-19, task loss or both.

Only on that dark, it felt skilful to indulge in enjoying the craftsmanship of Keen and his ring, listen to songs heard dozens of times earlier, revel in the unseasonably pleasant weather, enjoy beingness in a crowd of fellow fans.

It indeed felt good feeling good again.
