Fire Ant Flickers (#10)
From Sombreros to Striped Shirts
Two centuries of music in one weekend
Two nights…two concerts…two completely different experiences.
Fire Ant Flickers (#9)
Signs of spring, food and drink recommendations, and proof that my pivot from zoology to accounting was a wise choice.
Fire Ant Flickers (#8)
It's been an interesting week in and around Casa Fire Ant

Texas: Music to our Ears
I'm not saying that Texas is the center of the musical universe...but I'm also not saying that it's not.
