Phlip Phlop Phling

by Devorah Fox devorahfox.com Friday and Saturday, Sept. 26 and 27, plan to party with the Parrot Heads of Port Aransas at the Wings Over Port Aransas Phlip Phlop Phling. The PHOPA is one of 200-plus clubs in the international Parrot Heads In Paradise, Inc. “Parrot Heads” are fans of the singer/ songwriter/author Jimmy Buffett whose music and books celebrate the life of tropical island leisure. To raise money for local beneficiaries, PHOPA club members host fundraising events throughout the year. The big bash is the annual “Wings Over Port Aransas” party held in the fall. Previous Wings events have raised tens of thousands of dollars and everyone had a great time doing it.

The party starts Friday evening with a chartered sunset cruise on the Island Queen. Afterward, partygoers will report to the Palmilla Beach Resort and Golf Club for food, music and a bonfire on the beach.

Bad Monkeys The party continues Saturday afternoon with a shopping poker run and a pub crawl. The weekend party will be capped by a dinner/dance at the Port Aransas Civic Center with The Bad Monkeys. Doors open Saturday night at 6 P.M. Yours Truly has been invited to be the emcee.

The Bad Monkeys are not to be missed. They play a variety of cover tunes from many musical styles including Cajun, Buffett, and country and western. However, the band considers themselves a troprock (tropical rock) group and plays many of their songs in that genre.

I recently had an opportunity to speak with Alan White who is not only a member of the PHOPA but also a member of the band. He says that over the past few years, the group has performed throughout northern Texas, Galveston, Oklahoma City, Myrtle Beach, North Carolina, Jackson, Missisippi, Phoenix, Arizona, New Orleans and Shreveport, Louisiana. While the band plays many bars and parties, their more notable gigs include opening a Jimmy Buffett concert, annually playing at Buffett’s massive tailgate party in Frisco, Texas, headlining entertainment during “Margaritaville Night”, for the Oklahoma City Barons hockey team, and playing for the Shreveport Parrothead Club’s annual fundraiser.

“Every member of the group is very talented,” Alan says, “They play instruments other than those played for The Bad Monkeys, and are in other musical groups.” For example, White himself, Randy Brooks, Kelly Brown, Mike Eiras and Louie Chambers are members of an original Port Aransas band, the Sand Band.

The Sand Band performs during SandFest weekend all over town. Sharon Oefinger is the lead vocalist for the Groovadelics who perform weekly at the House of Blues in Dallas. Brooks has been performing for Young Country for many years.

But back to The Bad Monkeys. Kelly Brown, frontman and manager, is the rhythm guitarist and vocalist. Many of the songs played by the group were written by Brown. He has been a musician in the Dallas area for over twenty years. As the driving force of The Bad Monkeys, he has performed all over the country.

I am ever so grateful to Kelly for letting me use his “Song of the Ocean” as the soundtrack for the trailer for my novel “Naked Came the Sharks.” You can hear Kelly’s tune on YouTube at http://youtu.be/KzXj0bxyxnw and get a preview of what you’ll be enjoying Saturday night.

Mike Eiras’s musical roots go back twenty years. He is lead guitarist. He has played in

Happy Halloween!

groups from Alabama to Texas and points in between. Mike is a virtuoso guitarist. Alan White says he would put him up against any guitarist he has ever met. “In addition, Eiras is a gifted singer/songwriter. Even though his talents are enormous, he enjoys playing and singing with anyone regardless of their talent level.”

Randy Brooks is the bassist, however, he also plays the guitar and banjo. Randy is a regular in the Nashville music scene. He has written many songs for himself and others. His most famous tune is “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer.”

He currently travels all over the United States singing his tunes and delivering his homespun humor. “The Bad Monkeys are very fortunate to have such a talent,” says Alan White.

Serious pipes Sharon Oefinger is The Bad Monkeys’ vocalist.

Alan says, “the woman has some serious pipes.

Her voice range is enormous and varies from opera to earthy blues. Yu need to come hear The Bad Monkeys if, for nothing else, to enjoy her individual performance.” Alan says that many of the songs in The Bad Monkeys set lists are specifically for her because of the power of her voice. Sharon has performed in nationally known acts, including Margo Rey. She began performing in the Dallas area over thirty years ago.

Robin Binford is on drums. Alan says that Binford has been with the group for almost a year. He has proven to be a gifted musician.

Although he has picked up on all the songs in what seems like little time, Alan says they all know he is relentless in practice and does not like to play songs he cannot play perfectly. “He does not have much personal room for error.

That is what the band is looking for,” Alan adds.

Louie Chambers is the keyboardist. “Louie plays the keys like no one else,” says Alan.

“Much of the lead instrumentation not performed by Eiras is done by Louie.” He has played for many Dallas groups; however, the most famous artist he toured with was Lee Ann Rimes. One needs only listen for a little while to hear the influence he has over the band. Alan says that some members of the band can be absent from time-to-time and the band can still bel entertaining, but “Louie cannot be missing.”

As for Alan himself he plays congas, bongos and percussion. He has been performing with The Band Monkeys for two years but has been a musician his entire life.

After you’ve heard few songs you’ll be deciding that one night with The Bad Monkeys won’t be enough. Fortunately you’ll have a chance to take them home with you. The band has donated CDs of their music and you can bid on them in the Phlip Phlop Phling silent auction during the Saturday night party.

Tickets for the events are $60.00 and the price includes an event T-shirt, with admission to the Friday night sunset cruise costing an additional $15.00. For more information and to register, visit the Web site at http://www. portaransasparrotheads.com/. I’ll see you there.

The Halloween season is the ONLY reason I can get over the fact that summer has come to an end. Notice I called it the “Halloween” season - not the “Fall” season. We don’t have a fall season here in South Texas since it usually stays hot throughout October, which is why I never understood why those furry kids’ costumes get shipped here to be sold. In any case, no matter the weather, it is definitely “Halloween” season in my home, and as I have observed.... throughout Corpus Christi. The Halloween stores are popping up, the seasonal items in H-E-B and Target have changed from school supplies to spooky supplies, and it is time to think about costumes! (If I’m being totally honest, we start thinking about our costumes over the summer).

We have brought our Halloween decorations down from the attic - and this action signifies a yearly tradition for us. We open the bins, make hot chocolate (yes, even with the 90 degree weather), and we watch the Spongebob Squarepants Halloween episode. Then we turn our Pandora station to “Halloween Party” or “Halloween Symphonies” - and the decorating begins! It was a new adventure this year, this being our first Halloween on the Island - and this is the first time decorating in our new home.

The layout and design of our home has lent itself to some creative and scary ideas!

Another yearly tradition we enjoy is that very first trip to one of the major Halloween stores. Because I couldn’t wait any longer, we visited the Spirit Halloween Store located on Ayers near Crosstown. Their set up is not yet complete, but was far enough along for us to enjoy the scary attractions. We pushed every “TRY ME” button that would work - from the “Broken Spine Girl Animated Decoration” to the “Roaming Antique Doll” - and let’s not leave out the “Lurching Zombie”! I jumped, I screamed, I pushed my son out of the way so I could escape having to look at the zombie babies eat limbs.........and when I recover from scaring myself silly, I smile and think to myself, “This is truly Halloween happiness.”

September 25, 2014

I don’t ever feel bad about beginning the Halloween festivities in September - especially not since all the Christmas items are available to purchase too! If you go to Hobby Lobby, they have about two aisles of Halloween stuff, compared to 50 aisles of Christmas stuff!

I say “Hey! Wait your turn, Christmas!” When I set my mind to the season of Halloween, I set my heart on beginning the fun in September, so I can get the most of this once a year festivity.

Last year, I was faced with an inevitable Halloween challenge. When you think about it - there are MANY ways to express your appreciation for all things October 31st. You can do cutesy Halloween, vintage Halloween, scary Halloween and downright gory Halloween. I very much enjoyed the years I was able to spend in the “cutesy Halloween decoration phase” when my kids were younger. Last year, however, they informed me that it was time to move somewhere between scary and gory. So I indulged them by buying a really gross severed head decoration. They were really proud of me. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I absolutely love Halloween. But at the same time, I’m a scaredy cat. I don’t like to go in Haunted Houses, and there are certain scary movies I can’t watch. And yet, I love Halloween all the same. It’s weird. I belong on some kind of unexplained mysteries TV show.

This year, they are pushing for even more scary and gory decorations. So during our first trip to the Halloween specialty store, not only were we sampling everything - I was also trying to get an idea of what I could tolerate being in my house.

As long I can unplug it before I go to bed, I think I will be okay. And I can just skip getting up for water at night - that’s another way for me to stay safe.

As October nears, I’ll be putting the finishing touches on my own haunted Island home, and planning for a big October 31st bash! And in the meantime, I’ll be keeping my eyes peeled (no Halloween pun intended) to find some other haunted homes here on the Island! Send some pictures of your best Halloween pictures – costumes, decorations, whatever you got – to beachgalbare@gmail.com and you might see them printed in a future Island Moon column and/or on my blog! Happy Halloween y’all!

Texas Program Offers Classes for Engaged Couples and Married Couples Wedding planning is hard, but marriage can be harder. Thanks to a program sponsored by the Health and Human Services Commission, couples approaching marriage can build a solid foundation and save the $60 marriage license fee as well.

conflict resolution, communication and other key aspects of marriage,” Leeks said. “The goal is to increase the well-being of all Texas children by providing voluntary marriage and relationship education skills to their parents.”

The Twogether in Texas program offers premarital education to engaged couples across the state through a network of providers.

Couples who go through a class can have their marriage license fee reduced by $60 and waive the 72-hour waiting period after they get their license.

Couples can find organizations and churches that offer the classes by searching online at TwogetherInTexas.com or calling 2-1-1.

Contact the organization of your choice to check on class times and register to attend.

Some organizations charge a small fee to cover the costs of the classes, and others offer free classes.

“The premarital education that couples get in the Twogether in Texas program can set a strong foundation for a marriage and give couples a better idea of the challenges they will face,” said Gordon Leeks, who oversees the program for HHSC.

Couples who complete a class get a certificate that they can take to their county clerk when they apply for their marriage license. The certificate is good for one year and serves as proof that the couple is eligible for the discounted marriage license fee.

“The idea behind Twogether in Texas is that couples take an eight- hour class which covers

In spite of the size of its budget â&#x20AC;&#x201C; revenues of $50 million â&#x20AC;&#x201C; very few races for board seats in past years have been contested. Many of the candidates have run as incumbents after being chosen by board members to fill seats left empty by early resignations.

Shirley Thornton â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Incumbent who was elected to serve on the Board in May 2011.

She is a retired teacher who taught junior high English for twenty-eight years and served as a new-teacher mentor for two years in Flour Bluff ISD. She lived in Flour Bluff since 1968 and serves as a church, school, and community volunteer.

Sample Ballot For November 4 Election

A lot has changed in two years. When early voting for the November 4 election kicks off on October 20 a majority â&#x20AC;&#x201C; four of the seven â&#x20AC;&#x201C; seats on the FBISD board will be up for grabs and all but one race is contested.

According to figures from the Nueces County Clerkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office current board President Richard Pittman won that race over challenger William Prather by 616 votes; 3087 to 2471. But 4654 voters who went to the polls that day failed to cast a ballot in the race for the Flour Bluff School Board President; 2207 of them were Islanders. A total of 2300 of The Islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 6553 registered voters did vote in the race but the number of Island voters who skipped voting in the school board race was almost four times the eventual margin of victory.

The nine-member council is made up of the Mayor, five Single-Member District seats chosen from specific geographic areas of the city, and three At-Large seats which cover the entire city. The three candidates who receive the highest number of votes are elected. Two At-Large candidates are seeking re-election: Mark Scott and Lillian Riojas.

They are facing challengers Gil Hernandez, Reynaldo â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rayâ&#x20AC;? Madrigal, and Margareta Fratila, as well as current District 2 Council Member Chad Magill who is leaving his current seat to run At-Large.

Since about 2005, a group of artists has been assembling each Thursday at a location to enjoy plein air painting. “Open Air” as translated from the French is to set up the easel and paint outdoors to record the beautiful effect of light and shadow and color. The group is centered with the Rockport Center for the Arts (RCA) and is open to any artist in the area, that is, no membership to the RCA is required. The schedule of painting dates and sites is posted on the RCA website.

The painting schedule for 2014-2015 begins again in October 2 and will continue through June 2014. It has long been a sensible tradition to have no plein air sessions in July, August, and September, due to the extreme heat.

*Limited access – advance reservations required

All artists are encouraged to join in and “paint out” this year.

The times of the painting sessions is Thursday afternoon at 1:00 p.m. For October through March—this time is chosen because in the cooler weather, an afternoon session is usually preferred. For April through June, a morning session is scheduled Thursday at 8:00 a.m. Each session is about 3 hours long plus the critique.

Artists are invited and encouraged to join the group and experience the joy of plein air painting. A critique is done at the end of each session. So, Artists are invited to just pack up supplies and meet at the designated location. The schedule should be posted close to the end of September. Check the RCA website for updates every 3 months.

World War II Japanese Holdouts, Part I

South Texas Coast Right for Expansion of Cruise Industry

By Todd Hunter, District 32

House Concurrent Resolution (HCR) 56 is the cruise industry study bill which I was proud to have the opportunity to file during the 83nd Regular Legislative Session. This resolution was filed as a result of numerous town hall meetings in the past which I had the pleasure to host throughout District 32.

The most common theme I received at the town hall meetings was, “Why has the cruise industry not expanded to the South Texas coastline?”

The discussion about bringing the cruise industry to the South Texas coast has been on the minds of people for many years. HCR 56 will hopefully help bring the cruise ship industry one step closer to recognizing that the South Texas coastline is a great location to open additional ports of departure. HCR 56 specifically calls for the Lieutenant Governor and the Speaker of the House of Representatives to provide for a joint interim legislative study to analyze the development of a cruise industry. The study would look at the Texas coast between Calhoun and Cameron Counties and review its potential economic impact.

According to a cruise industry overview performed by the Florida-Caribbean Cruise Association, a record number of an estimated 21 million passengers took cruises in 2014. Of that roughly 21 million, approximately 12 million were out of North America. This increase in passengers has resulted in a large impact on the annual occupancy of the cruise ships. The cruise industry has also added approximately 15 new ships to their lines. The recent large annual increase shows a clear desire of people to take advantage of sea travel.

Utilizing a 2012 economic report compiled by the Cruise Line International Association, North American cruise lines, their employees and passengers produced approximately $42 billion in gross economic output in the United States. The cruise industry also generated over 356,000 jobs paying out $17.4 billion in wages and salaries. It is clear that the cruise industry

The cruise industry generated over 356,000 jobs paying out $17.4 billion in wages and salaries could possibly represent a significant economic boost to South Texas if the cruise industry would choose to locate a departure point out of one of the ports located between Calhoun County and Cameron County.

By providing a state interim legislative study, the State of Texas can begin to outline the benefits of the economic impact that can be generated in the Coastal Bend by the development of the cruise industry. At the end of the day, South Texas represents one of the fastest-growing regions in the state. Along with the population in the region and its surrounding areas, it offers a robust tourism industry, a wealth of natural resources and a number of ports which could be used to host a cruise line.

As a reminder, the 84th Texas Legislative session is fast approaching and will be back in session in January of 2015. As always, I want to hear your ideas and suggestions as we get closer the start of next session. These ideas and information are important forms of feedback and I hope that you will not hesitate to contact my office.

If you have questions regarding any of the information mentioned in this week’s article, please do not hesitate to call my Capitol or District Office. Please always feel free to contact my office if you have any questions or issues regarding a Texas state agency, or if you would like to contact my office regarding constituent services. As always, my offices are available at any time to assist with questions, concerns or comments (Capitol Office, 512463-0672; District Office, 361-949-4603).

The BACK PORCH

By Dotson Lewis, dlewis1@stx.rr.com Special to the Island Moon Dotson’s note: during my short tour in the Philippines in late 1951 and early 1952, we often heard stories about Japanese holdouts that were still waging war in the jungles against the natives. They were occasionally seen by members of my outfit who were map-making the Philippine Islands. I believe even some of you Moon Monkeys may have encountered one or more of these holdouts after VJ day.

from our popular entertainment culture about the “Japanese Holdouts”: • One episode of the American TV comedy “Ensign O’Toole” titled “Operation Holdout” shown on October 28, 1962, the crew finds four stranded soldiers on an isolated island, two American and two Japanese, who think World War II is still underway.

Two Famous Holdouts: Onoda and Yokoi

• The episode “So Sorry, My Island Now” of the American TV comedy “Gilligan’s The Japanese holdouts of World War II had Island” revolves around a much reason to continue Japanese sailor and his minifighting. Following the war, sub; the Skipper (Alan Hale, some of the efforts to root Jr.) remarks how every few them out were brutal. The years, a Japanese soldier is Philippines in particular were a found who does not know the dangerous place for a Japanese war is over. soldier to be caught. Japan had created a puppet government • A 1965 episode of the series after it took over the island.

“Voyage to the Bottom of the At the hands of the JapaneseSea” entitled “And Five of Us backed leadership, the Filipinos are Left...” involves a group of suffered tremendously. Once Americans and one Japanese the Philippines was liberated who have been trapped in an Lt. Hiroo Onoda

by Allied forces, any Japanese undersea cave for twenty-five soldier sighted on the islands years. The Japanese refuses to “was hunted down and killed like a poisonous believe the war is over, and hampers rescue snake.” efforts.

So it’s understandable that two of the most famous Japanese holdouts were reluctant to believe the war was over. Lt. Hiroo Onoda remained a combatant on the Filipino island of Lubang until 1974. Two years earlier, a fellow Japanese holdout, Shoichi Yokoi, had been discovered fishing along a riverbank in Guam.

Yokoi was wearing a shirt he’d made from tree bark and pants made of burlap. The aging soldier admitted he was aware that the war was over; he’d simply been too humiliated to return home. Upon his arrival in Japan, Yokoi uttered his famous first words: “I am ashamed that I have returned alive.”

Unlike Yokoi, Lt. Onoda was unaware or unwilling to accept that the war was over. After the Philippines were captured by the Allies, Onoda became an inadvertent member of a four-man band of stragglers surviving in the jungles of the Philippines as guerrillas.

In 1950, one member of the holdouts surrendered. Within days, he wrote a note to his comrades, telling them the war was over.

This note was copied and dropped over the jungle. More leaflets were dropped later and announcements that the war had concluded were broadcasted over loudspeakers aimed into the dense jungle. The holdouts thought it was propaganda. Onoda later became separated from his remaining two comrades, both of whom were later killed. Each of the three holdouts truly continued the war, staging raids on Filipino campsites and search parties and engaging in firefights with Filipino soldiers.

Onoda simply didn’t believe World War II had ended; he later said he assumed the attempts at contact, were American efforts at tricking him into surrendering. When his presence as a combatant still fighting in the Philippines became known, Onoda became a legendary figure in Japan. It ultimately took a wandering Japanese student who embarked on the hunt for Onoda to bring him out of hiding. In 1974, Norio Suzuki entered the Lubang jungle in search of Lt. Onoda. Suzuki found him and convinced Onoda that he’d been fighting a war for 29 years after its completion.

Onoda ultimately trusted Suzuki and followed him out of the jungle. He returned to Japan a national hero, yet an odd one. As part of Japan’s post-war demilitarization, the army to which Onoda had belonged was disbanded. Japan spent the last 29 years distancing itself from accusations of wartime atrocities it committed and reminders of its recent past. Yet, here was Onoda, emerging from the jungle after clinging intractably to the now-archaic concept of bushido*.

This culture shock took a toll on the soldier. In his memoir, Lt. Hiroo Onoda remembered his thoughts when he realized he’d been fighting a war that had ended 29 years earlier. He thought of his two dead comrades, alongside whom he’d fought as guerrillas in the jungles of the Philippines: “wouldn’t it have been better if I had died with them?” Onoda wrote.

So well known was this phenomenon, that you may have heard of the following references

• The episode “The Last Kamikaze” of “The Six Million Dollar Man” finds Col. Steve Austin being held prisoner by a Japanese holdout. Steve uses his Polaroid camera to take an instant photo of his captor, in an attempt to prove to him how far the world has moved on, and notes the “Made in Japan” label on the device.

• The February 1978 episode of “Three’s Company,” “Days of Beer and Weeds,” had Jack remarking on the size of Mr. Roper’s garden by saying, “There are still pockets of Japanese soldiers in there that don’t know the war is over.”

• The second episode of 1979 TV series “Salvage 1” “Shangri-la Lil,” centers on the accidental discovery (and reintegration) of a Japanese holdout.

• The 1980 film “The Last Flight of Noah’s Ark” featured two elderly Japanese soldiers who have lived on an uncharted island for 35 years.

• The 1981 film “A Friend Is a Treasure,” starring Bud Spencer and Terence Hill, features a Japanese soldier who maintains an entire base to protect a treasure.

• The film “American Ninja” (1985) featured John Fujioka, a Japanese holdout and ninja master, who finds and trains Michael Dudikoff to be an American ninja in the Philippines.

• The film “Savage Beach” (1989) featured a Japanese holdout who resided on a remote island which was used to stash gold bars from the Philippines.

• The 1997 novel “Flying to Pieces”

by Dean Ing is about a group of aging American WWII pilots who hear about a cache of Japanese warplanes stashed on a remote island in the Philippines and go to investigate, only to discover the planes have been maintained and are operational, having been tended to for over 50 years by a Japanese holdout.

• The 1999 children’s novel “Kensuke’s Kingdom” by Michael Morpurgo is set in the 1990s and centers on the friendship between a Japanese straggler and a lost British boy.

• The action thriller “Shima” (2007) explores the psychological trauma faced by an officer of the Imperial Army. The film is loosely based on the life on Lieutenant Hiroo Onoda and other Japanese holdouts.

Another Dotson’s note: In Part II of The Island Moon article, “Japanese holdouts of World War II.” I will tell you about Sakae Oba, a World War II Japanese holdout. Oba-san was from the same prefecture in Japan as my late wife. We were introduced to him and his wife in 1987 in Nagoya, Japan. To me, his life story is one of the most fascinating stories that I have ever heard.

We'd like to fill the boat this year with 35 volunteers. Free lunch will be provided to all volunteers.

All volunteers should be comfortable climbing into and out of the boat using a ladder and tolerate working in warm temperatures. Dress for the weather and bring a water bottle. Hats, long sleeves, pants, and shoes that stay on your

feet in the mud, are recommended. We will be providing latex gloves, trash bags, sunblock, and bug spray, but feel free to bring your own.

Work gloves and long-handled trash grabbers are useful as well.

There is a need for one or two volunteers to help remove trash bags from the shore. If anyone is interested in doing this please let me know and I will give you the details.

If you would like to join us for the clean-up, please R.S.V.P. via email by Friday, September 19, 2014. Please feel free to pass this request along to anyone you think may be interested.

Speeding in the Canals Speeding Dangerous and Destructive

By Brent Rourk

Your wake is causing damage, slowly but surely, and could cause a tremendous amount of damage and could potentially compromise safety by causing an accident. Methodically your waves crash against the docks, decks, boats, and bulkheads in the canals causing boats to crash against piers, pylons, bulkheads, and docks. If a boat were traveling fast enough, the waves could cause even more physical damage and perhaps cause an individual to fall into the canal.

With an increase in summer and early fall swimmers, floaters, and paddle boarders in the canals it is prudent to follow NO WAKE signs and to keep lookouts on all boats for people in the canals. I have also heard complaints about boaters running over fishing lines from people fishing on their decks and docks. It is a good idea to stay clear of fishing lines.

Most islanders would welcome more water patrol in our canals, but it is not happening at this point. It is costly and time consuming to have the Coast Guard, Coast Guard Auxiliary, Texas Parks and Wildlife, and local law enforcement officers regularly patrol our canals. Unfortunately, budgets cuts, sequesters, and higher priority duties all make canal 1 of 1patrol an infrequent event. In the meantime, all of us should be considerate boaters and obey NO WAKE signs.

It is against the law in NO WAKE posted areas to create a wake with your boat and though you might not be able to see or measure the damage, it happens.

Violators can be ticketed and can be held responsible for any damage that they cause. Damage Web Sudoku - Billions of Free Sudoku Puzzles to Play Online is a difficult thing to prove, but regardless, keeping your speed at a NO WAKE speed simply prevents problems.

The moment has arrived – that boating trip you have looked forward to. Fishing, water skiing, boating tour, meal on the water, or whatever purpose; you are moving on the water. You head out to the Laguna Madre and perhaps to Corpus Christi Bay or to the Gulf.

You are traveling at 15 miles per hour, certainly not the top end on your boat. You have ignored the NO WAKE signs dotting the island. You are creating waves that are crashing against the shore.

NO WAKE means that you should not create any wakes or waves from your boats forward propulsion. You are creating problems and could potentially cause a boating accident.

Speaking of having lookouts, boating statistics reveal that the three major causes of boating accidents are alcohol, speeding, and not having lookouts in your boat. All people in a boat should help the captain with lookout duties, looking for other boats, people, and objects in the water. With lookouts and a captain who obeys NO WAKE signs, damage and accidents will be minimized if not eliminated.

All boaters should also consider taking a boating safety class. The Coast Guard Auxiliary offers a fine ABS (About Boating Safety) course, and there is one coming up on October 18th at Stingrays in Port Aransas.

Three Chords and the Truth The new Drop Anchor…

By Ronnie Narmour

September 25, 2014

Island Moon

ronnienarmour@gmail.com

Terlingua or Sharkey’s?

never a single moment when at least one guitar wasn’t being played. They live for music. Joe Mack showed up at Shorty’s last month with another Okie entourage: Carter Sampson (the Queen of Oklahoma) and Sky Smeed… and they tore it up. They played something like 29 cities in 30 days on that tour. And I gotta say, all these Oklahoma dudes really know how to rock a beard… must be something in that hillbilly water up there. Together, Thomas Trapp and Joe Mack work an exhaustive acrobatic display of guitar technique that is nothing short of a Fourth of July fireworks show. Watch closely folks, their fingers never leave their hands. This is the coolest deal around. Love me some Okies!

Randy McAllister to play Back Porch…

The ever so tempting Terlingua, TX I have several friends here that are squeezing me hard to go to the big chili cook-off and music festival they have every year in Terlingua (which is a hundred miles from the middle of nowhere.) I am considering it. It would be an easier decision if it wasn’t a 14 hour drive. All of my central Texas buddies, led by Al Barlow, will be there and I know it will probably be fun, though I’m not much of a camper. I’m told to take all your provisions with you since the place is so isolated. Someone said they have a beer drinking goat out there that’s good for a few laughs. Who am I kidding? It sounds like a living hell… driving all day and night through the desert to get to sleep on the ground and starve to death while watching an alcoholic goat. Am I missing something? Or, I could just stick around here and go to Sharkey’s 14th Annual Chili cook-off and Music Festival on Oct. 4. My old pal, the late Jody McCormick got this tradition started back in the 80’s when I worked for him at the Midnight Rodeo in San Antonio and it’s for a good cause (his vocational scholarship fund). They’ll have a bunch of bands like Todd Dorn and the Sea Drifters playing all day and night plus other fun stuff like the wiener dog races and lots of great chili. Hey Jason Towns, why don’t you fire your little airplane up and we’ll do both. Now there’s an idea.

Encore, encore…

Melissa Brooke will play Drop Anchor this Saturday.

The new kids on the block over at Drop Anchor have been slowly slipping into the island music scene. They tell me that Rich Lockhart will play every Friday in October and Billy Snipes will play Oct. 11th and 25th.

And on this Saturday, they are throwing a special “end of summer” party with food and drink specials and a performance by our own Melissa Brooke. Plus Melissa will have her Dallas buddy, Bo Brumble in tow, so expect a killer song swap. I like the direction these folks at the Drop Anchor are taking and see many of our old friends working there, like Johnny Bravo and Janet Wilks. Drop Anchor owner, Ashley Richards, tells me they plan to build a new stage downstairs and hope to have it ready for Melissa’s show. Check this place out. It’s on Cutoff Road where the old Rusty Jeep BBQ used to be. They did a pretty big remodeling job in there and the place looks great. And the food is good, too. I had one of their giant stuffed baked potatoes the other day and loved it.

DO NOT MISS LIST Okie invasion…

Coming next week…

Grammy nominee, Randy McAllister will play the Back Porch on Oct. 3rd.

On Oct. 3rd, Grammy nominee, Randy McAllister (Paris, TX) will return to the Back Porch. McAllister is a remarkable blues singer in a unique class of drummers who front the band. I can only compare him to the late Levon Helm or Doyle Bramhall, Sr. Randy never ceases to amaze me with the musicians he chooses to accompany him on these yearly trips to the coast. A couple of years ago it was with blues legend, Andrew” Junior Boy” Jones, in tow. And last year (and you really can’t make

Get ready for another mad Okie hillbilly guitar invasion… Joe Mack and Thomas Trapp (Tahlequah, OK) will play both Friday and Saturday at Shorty’s this weekend. Just for the record, Tahlequah is in Cherokee County in the foothills of the Ozarks and the heart of the Cherokee Nation (just thought you should know.) These boys get together whenever they can and when they do, guitar necks smolder.

They played Shorty’s last year for two nights and stayed at my house. I can attest, there was

Shake Russell and Michael Hearne will play the Third Coast Theater on Oct. 4th.

Also coming next week, there is a wealth of talent. Look for shows on Oct. 3rd by Hold Fast Fables (Galveston, TX) at Giggity’s and Ty Dietz (Corpus Christi, TX) at Shorty’s. On Oct. 4th watch for Larry Joe Taylor (Stephenville, TX) at the Porch, Michael Hearne (Red River, NM) and Shake Russell (Houston, TX) at Third Coast Studio and The Lavens (San Antonio, TX) plus The Rosellys (Bristol, England) at Giggity’s. More about all of these shows in next week’s column. I can’t wait to tell you about the Lavens and the Rosellys. They are way cool!!!

On the horizon…

On the near horizon, watch for shows by Whiskey Meyers, William Clark Green, Bo Porter, The 31st Annual Shorty’s Pig Party, Jake Ward, Jerry Diaz, Todd Dorn, The Cosmic Dust Devils, The Tejas Brothers, Slim Bawb and the Fabulous Stumpgrinders, Buster Jiggs and Mike Stinson. WOW!!! Stay tuned…

Joe Mack and Thomas Trapp will play Shorty’s this weekend.

Mike Milligan and the Altar Boys played Giggity’s last Friday Last week was like one we’ve seen many times around here, but still, it was a goodern. The returning cast of characters: Mike Millilgan and the Altar Boys (Austin, TX) at Giggity’s, Billy Snipes (New Braunsfel, TX) at Shorty’s, Ruben V (San Antonio, TX) at the Back Porch, J.T. Coldfire (Austin, TX) at Giggity’s and Lyrical Bynge (Corpus Christi, TX) at Shorty’s once again entertained our little island with fervor and class. We had to work around the threat of rain all weekend but the good news is: the temperatures dropped and we got our first glimpse of fall… which, by the way, it officially is. I assume the color of some leaves somewhere will start changing, the foliage around here pretty much stays the same color all year long (except in August when the grass turns yellow).

this stuff up), Randy showed up with a group of young sidemen that was hard to figure out.

The way Randy told it, he had moved from his home in East Texas to South Dakota to marry.

Now Randy’s not a computer guy but he had a couple of vehicles to sell and decided to give Craigslist a try and quickly found an ad looking for a drummer. As it turned out, it was a Johnny Cash tribute band from Tennessee who was touring the Midwest. Randy responded to the ad, played a couple of gigs and then talked the band into ditching the Johnny Cash wannabee to hit the road with him The end result of what we saw was 16 year old Mya Van Nuys on fiddle, 18 year old Rob Dewan on electric guitar and 23 year old Matt Higgins on bass. These kids played like their hair was on fire. Randy is always his usual great self, playing drums, scrub board, harmonica, the pavement, a chair, a table, a bottle of water… anything he could find to beat on. I watched him break two drum sticks that night. Trust me, this is definitely a DO NOT MISS show.
