LUCKY DAY: BREWER'S ROW

Below is a song written by Nicholas Hohman.

I have, and always will love performing this song

with Brewer's Row

You eighteen wheel cowboy, you everyman's brother 

Climb the cab, kick the clutch, turn the key, feel her shudder 

You gray bearded nomad, you highway-born child 

Trucking lumber across America, for a quarter per mile 

Pull onto the shoulder, between Denver and Boulder 

I stand holding my thumb up, guitar slung across my back, watching my breath rest in the cold air 

Soft words come from your rumbling lungs 

"It's our lucky day, son" 

You ask me, "Can you make that old guitar music? Can you carry a tune? 

My radio broke back past Idaho. I got fifteen

hundred miles of pavement to offer you 

You got a ticket to ride in the passenger's side 

Long as the songs ring off the rocky range 

Long as you play the plains of the Midwest away 

Long as you're bluer than the grass in the southern states 

Long as you can cry with the clouds in the northern grey" 

I'm a lonely hitchhiker. Please take me where you will 

You took us across Kansas, through Missouri, down Kentucky, to Nashville 

Driving the line beneath the rift in the sky 

Where bruised clouds riding twisters 

Met blue skies lined by live wires 

Soft light comes from a humbling sun 

It's a lucky day 

It was around Kansas City I'd settled my seat 

At least enough to speak while I was changing my strings 

"How's a rag-tag freeloader like me, get along on the road 

Not just a warm cab and the fast track, but an open ear I can sing at?" 

You said "My old man was a cross-country driver 

He rarely spoke, but these words set me fire 

'Ain't no better charm 

For an eighteen wheel cowboy 

Than a man and his guitar 

Trading songs for the countryside'" 

So don't pass by a traveler 

With music to offer 

Because in twilight the bastards 

Of devils and monsters 

Will weigh on the eyelids of 

Of road weary truckers 

Without the kindness of strangers 

The heaven sent ushers 

And I sang to the thunder 

Tuned my strings to the tires 

Strummed ballads of travelers 

Told the stories of liars 

Until as the crow flies it's a quick hike 

To the Pennsylvania state line 

Soft songs come from my trembling hands 

It's our lucky day, friend

Brewer's Row • Misty Boyce • Tiffany Christopher

Didn't think I would find myself playing drums at 11:30pm on a Monday night.

Or to think many of my friends would stick around to hear me do so. 

But after Tiffany kicked off the night with an amazing set filled with

solid loops, fat beats, amazing vocals, and soulful solos.

I think the crowd knew they were in for an awesome night.

And then there was Misty Boyce. . .

And then Misty joined Brewer's Row...

What a great night at Thunderbird Cafe!

Thanks everyone for coming out :)

Tyler's Motorcycle Accident

"time heals"

I wanted to be sure not enough time passed before capturing a fully healed Tyler.

He has always been great in front of any camera I happen to have in my hands.

Always looking

STRONG

HEALTHY

HANDSOM

But this was different.

This was a
WEAK
HANDICAPPED
BROKEN TYLER

After taking his crutch from him has he hopped across the deck with one working leg, no shirt, and an overgrown hospital beard he lay in shock on the frozen wood. Too cold to shiver, goosebumps head to toe he lay there with that look on his face as he usually does right before I take his picture. 

That look of

WHY DO I LISTEN TO YOU?

  REGRET

 IS THIS REALLY WORTH IT FOR A DUMB PICTURE?

Thank you Tyler Cole,
