the happiness...... 05/04/2010
 David Newberry and James Lamb played at the Blackbird on the 23rd of April.... RODEO WEEKEND... sound the bells... but persevere we did.... after a most entertaining night - these guys are seriously talented! - the idea of the reverse rider came up... and Dave "i was recently a line cook until i got fired" Newberry suggested that he and James run the coffee house the next morning.... ah, the folly of youth, i thought, "these dudes are NEVER getting out of bed....." as the clock crept to 2am... but it came out as "that is the best idea ever, I am sleeeeepin' in my friends..... night night....." and I DID... what could go wrong? Leaving the coffee house in the hands of two travelling lads.... a sacked line cook and a self described hobo of no fixed address? Have at it boys! And Sunday morning, 9am the report came in from Maybry, the resident 11 year old that, "those guys that were playing guitar last night? ya, well they 're turning on the stove....." and under Maybry's watchful eye, as the blackbird girlz wandered in, with admitted trepidation... James and Dave carried the Blackbird coffee house over the threshold of happiness, and into the house of the reverse rider... where she shall live out her years.... never having to wonder where the next meal is coming from... at least for the morning after music night.... blackbird girlz all agreed that the taste of breakfast - let alone the very idea of the reverse rider - was too good to ever turn back from... and the tradition was born... onward!
