Thirty seven years ago today, I met Harlan Howard sitting on a barstool at The Third Coast restaurant. He was talking to a woman seated at the bar then turned his head and said, who are you? I said, Melanie. He asked me if I wanted to go eat some Italian food. I said no thanks, I was going to eat sushi. He said what is sushi? I said raw fish. He gulped at the thought of eating raw fish, but asked if he could go with me. I said sure. After three sakis, he said he was going to marry me. I thought it was a darn good April Fool's joke. He wasn't joking!

I went to pay my respects to Jason Wagoner last night at The Troubadour and the first song I heard was a Harlan Howard song, “Someone Had To Teach You.” It was a wonderful night of friends paying homage to the country music that Jason loved. I love hearing shuffles; that was Harlan’s beat in the 60’s. The venue was packed with cowboys and girls two stepping. I need to learn to two step and twirl!
