Some new lyrics and melody in the background are reaching an understanding....

#700 Lucille
the crowd..."Man, Lucille, is sounding good tonight"....whoa ...."and LOOKING good". Clapping....A John leaving drops 3 ones in the tip jar at the edge of the stage....
....Ruby Begonia, The BackDoor owner, she'd say it owns her, interrupts "two more Lucille. Ky Hote, your up next."

Austin 6th street mural ...artist?
Ky saunters in with his backup singers.

#825-White Rabbit
After Hours

meanwhile the White Rabbit is getting edgy....Lucille is a little too domesticated for him.....just finished his mushroom salad....not that unusual for a rabbit...."that rabbit really digs music"someone said at the bar,"does he play?", "yeah, he plays with a brother, he's jumpin' too man"......White's ears pick up.....he's thinking "Just don't let me hear one more time,' What's hoppenin dude' "....

"He's a kind of an after hours produce salesman" White overheard...(I mean rabbits don't have big ears for nothin)....White needs to sell some produce...but he knows if he stops hummin' the tune in his head he is going to lose it.....

Ky starts playing some jazz cords that don't even have names....and some song about kids who bought the story about invading a country to save it only to realize that they're fighting simply to save each other and get home alive....and the girls are singing,,,doo wah, dough wah, doo wah, dough wah.....


#632- Meaux Jeaux's Base Instincts
..dressed for Barton Springs.

Meaux Jeaux steps up to walk up and down the baseline matching the hope and despair of the lyrics as Ky gives her a wink...the dooo... waher's nudge over on the small stage to make room for MoJo. Her partner Slim is takin' a smoke break to make a judgement in a debate between two plant enthusiast sales representatives....both persuasive entrepreneurs....but unable to make late night objective evaluations of their products.....

Owl is adding her own mojo to the mix....

Lightnin' Hopkins edges in giving Ace some handshake only they do....Ruby smiles and always has a new metaphor for him... "lightin' up". He grins.

Peckerwood, just returned from 2 tours in Iraq, is standing at the urinal...smiling at Rumsfeld...thinking "the bastard"....
It's an image from a recent underground paper pasted on the wall. The editor's phone is tapped by homeland security. P...is thinkin' about his lyrics to "Dear John to Sam"...he dropped the "Uncle"....It was going to be "Unchain My Heart" but his heart went out of it long ago...an he's thinking about George's latest reasons for invading Iraq, trying after the fact to match the current outcome with the reasons for invading..... "freedom, democracy" knowing "wmd" is long gone as a reason to die for ......P... thinks the phantom pain in his missing foot will probably always remind him...P reads the graffitti under the photo...He's thinking "the mofo".

...Ace commenting..."Step over the tape....Yeah, we're always under investigation, who's not".Homeland Security starts at home. "Hey you, absolutely no tobacco smoking in here. Heard of the great outback," Ace says behind him without taking his eyes off Mr. Universe. "You got an axe in that box or a smoker", he checks his case. "Martin, cool, sign up at the bar, you'll be up around 2:30 Peckerwood". Ruby Begonia is thinking "wrecking ball" when she first sees him. He signs in...
P...E...C...K...E...R...W...etc. for the first time. "Yeah, all right" he's thinking to himself...not as cool as Flash or Domino or whatever....
