This one is long overdue. Special shout out to Melissa, who is a most gracious host for these monthly jams. I discovered this group of musicians well before the pandemic, and it got me started playing music again after another long lay-off. Ain’t nuthin’ sweeta…
DIABLA CASITA
Been a few years now - found me a pot of gold
My music laid dormant - I was just getting’ old
This meet up for me - was like a brand new start
Musicians there - are what sets it apart
Man what a pleasure - Can’t think of anything sweeta
Truly a treasure - Diabla Casita
Always different musicians - appear in the mix
It’s dealer's choice - as each player picks
Such a broad spectrum - of artists and tunes
Always great times - on Sunday afternoon
Man what a pleasure - Can’t think of anything sweeta
Truly a treasure - Diabla Casita
Love playin’ together - those famous melodies
And singin’ along - adding sweet harmonies
Jams often break out - bringing smiles all around
There’s no greater joy - such a beautiful sound
Man what a pleasure - Can’t think of anything sweeta
Truly a treasure - Diabla Casita
We’ve played in the rain - and in 100 degrees
Long into the night - I’m sure we’d all agree
There ain’t nothin’ better - no place we’d rather be
Than Farm Bureau Road - beneath the canopy
Man what a pleasure - Can’t think of anything sweeta
Truly a treasure - Diabla Casita
