Y’all know that I love photographing hands, I love the story they tell… whether they’re brand new or 100 years old; every hand tells a story.
Nathan and I were very lucky this past weekend to be invited by a good friend’s husband to watch him play with one of our favorite Texas musicians, Cory Morrow.
Those hands up there, they play a mean guitar.
That was one of the most fun evenings out that Nathan and I’ve had in a long time. We listened to music, we ate fried pickles, drank cold beer, danced, listened to Texas Music and got to meet a man hug a friend, and watch him do what he loves and I have to tell y’all, he is pretty damn amazing.
It is a gift to watch people do what they love and that entire night was a gift to us.
sounds like a fabulous evening.
I am so jealous that you got to see John live.
Heather, he’s simply amazing.
It was so much fun. I don’t know the last time that Nathan and I got to do something like that.
We used to go to Gruene Hall all the time in College and when we were first married. It was sooo much fun!
You are a beautiful friend, and this is a lovely post. I really am so incredibly happy that you and Nathan were able to make it out and had such a good time. That is a gift to John and me!
(PS I love that awesome photograph!)

I love your pictures of hands and I love Texas music. My favorite singer/songwriter in college was Phil Pritchett. Ah, Texas music halls and beer. Love hearing good Texas songwriters Cory, Jerry Jeff, Willie, Phil…

Nothing I love more than cold beer, good friends, and rockin guitar tunes. Don’t get much of that here in LA, sadly.

I am fascinated by piano player hands. And that shot above is awesome. I miss live music — especially nights like a Shake Russell show. Like Elz, I can smell the beer now…
Awesome capture, and it is so dramatic in black and white. Beautiful!

Awesome shot – and sounds like fun.
I swear, I need to move to Texas. West Michigan is BORING.
