Bois d'Arc Bottom Band - Part 4

As Gary and Boyd continued to play music on banjo and guitar, they would sometimes find themselves in the strangest settings for music. One particular time found them under a bridge overlooking Sulphur river near Flat Prairie between Honey Grove and Ladonia, playing music as the water passed under the bridge. Maybe there were movie people behind some of  bushes and they got the idea for "Deliverance!"

As Boyd and Gary stopped in Ladonia one particular evening for gasoline at Johnny and Billie's Mobile Station, some other guys walked in. Johnny and Billy introduced the guys who were from Wolfe City. They had been playing music in another small band and were somewhat disgruntled with the leader. After talking about music for a while and getting to know these guys, they decided to get together in the near future and have a jam session. That eventually took place at Bob Robinson's home in Commerce. The guys immediately jelled and decided to find a venue to rehearse their music.

The quest for a rehearsal place took the band from Wolfe City to Honey Grove and some community centers in-between! At one particular community center, the band was asked to leave because we were playing too loud.
