| Saturday,
August 28, 2005, John McCall opened his spectacular Lick
Creek Lodge for a sell-out crowd of 250 supporters who came
to
hear a Flatlanders reunion concert. And the crowd was not
disappointed.
Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Butch Hancock and Joe Ely worked their
magic, playing Flatlanders hits as well as some that were
made popular by them as individuals. The boys were also joined
by Jimmie's son Colin for a number. And special guest, songster,
mystery writer, gubernatorial candidate and cigar smoker
Kinky Friedman also appeared to lead the audience in a singalong.
There was also a silent auction and fine dinner prepared
by Guardians to add to the fun. The funds raised, of course,
will be used for the Lick Creek legal
struggle.
Thanks
to
all
who
worked
to make this concert a success. (The following photos by

Ely, Jimmie Dale Gilmore and Butch Hancock, The
Flatlanders together again. The boys are in fine
form, joking, playing great music
and havin' a ball. |

Butch's "West Texas Waltz" always
evokes a shout from the audience. Jimmie not to
be outdone, howls to the
sky. |

And,
at the end, an appreciative audience goes wild. (The pix
