"god's front porch"

I first saw the Gourds quite by accident in Seattle, circa 1998. I've been in love ever since. Since I moved here to H-town, I've seen them less often, despite their playing here fairly often. I'm older, lamer and generally less apt to venture out of an evening. Last night they played for free at our new downtown Discovery Park and I was SOOOO happy. The good mood lasted into the morning when I bopped into work.
