Gulf coast salty blues ..Hamilton Loomis
It's taken me 3 years to finally enjoy a live performance by Texas Blues Artist ,Hamilton Loomis.
He lived up to the hype!
The Kehmah Boardwalk was grooving and I had a grand time with my wife.
With Harmonica humming, geeetar strumming ,and vocals to make the women yurn for more,he is a great blues talent to our Gulf Coast.
Way back when he was on KPFT he sang a song that took me back to my surf fishing and camping days out at San Luis Pass.
Hamilton Loomis's song Castle describes our passion for Galveston and all things beach related.
From driving down I-45, to building castles with our hands.
This song best sums up most of my life. Driving down to the Sea Wall and making a right towards the Pass with a cooler full a beer, late at night to catch the morning tide.
As you can tell we had a blast and it made me want to take another trip down to Blue Water Hwy.

It's not easy being Blu
When people hear the term, "I'm blue" ,or it's a "blue Monday" they think of someone sad or alone, just plan down.
Well for me when I hear Blue I think of things I love, like the ocean, the shine off a colbalt blue 64' Impala, or the some music I can sip a beer to while I puff on a cigar.
Maybe it's because my favorite color is blue, or the fact I used to watch Cookie Monster tear up those cookies and he would make me crack up as a booger eating kid! LoL :D
What ever it is, the color blue is a part of my life and I embrace it.
Here are a few pictures from The Blu Reef at night under the black lights.

Candy grubbing on anything she can find.
My wife watching Goober eating algae.
Well everything is better blue IMO, so I'm going to end this post with
Houston's own... BLUE OCTOBER

The Sky is Crying
A rainy day along the Texas Gulf Coast goes together with some Texas blues ,like salsa on a break fest taco..just ain't the same without it!
Here's one of the most famous Texas sons the world loves. HE could make his guitar talk and cry with the best of all time.
RIP SRV!

Hamilton Loomis... The Gulf Coast Native son.
Something about Galveston that makes my insides get all excited like a kid at Toy's R Us. I don't know if it's that Gulf breeze on my skin or the sunshine on my neck, I'm at home on the beach with a surf rod in one hand ,and a cold beer in the other.
Hamilton Loomis : Build Me a Castle
Hearing this jam reminds me of my many nights and days crusin down I-45 South with my fishing buddy Joe,a ice chest full of beer, four fishing poles ,bait bucket and my trusty cast net.
I'm looking forward to seeing Hamilton Loomis live one of these days, one of the great Blues artist from the Gulf Coast.
