Billy Eli @ Giddy Ups (02/19/2011)

Posted on February 19, 2011 by Carole

We’d stayed at Mesa Ranch a little longer than we intended (that’s what happens when you’re having fun!), but it was still early so we headed down to Giddy Ups to see Billy Eli like we’d told him we would a couple of weeks ago. By the time we got there, the party was in FULL swing! Everyone seemed to be having fun (normal when Billy plays!). There were a lot of people I knew and a lot I didn’t. But, in true Giddy Ups fashion, that didn’t matter! Just by being there, we were all friends!

Billy once told us he liked the pictures we took of him. Well, guess what! Getting a picture of Billy on stage is NO easy task…..and Nancy will agree!! The man is a bundle of energy that just doesn’t stop! Using every trick in the book, including some new ones a young man studying film gave us, we got 26 usable shots out of over 100 we took…..and some of these are iffy. :) But, we don’t care, Billy was on stage giving a heck of a show a lot of people enjoyed and will remember for a long time…that’s all that was important! Thanks Billy!! You did it again!!

First saw Billy at the Austin Outhouse Reunion this spring. But, this was better (for me!) because we had a chance to actually meet everyone and could listen to the music.

Billy explained that they are the only “country band” that doesn’t play “country”. A radio announcer said they were country and Billy is just thankful that the new country is giving the “old” rockers another chance. LOL

Hope you have a chance to see them soon! They are a fun band!
