Description
I nearly feel like MacJam's Land must be going .... " oh...boy... more Texas.....stuff ......"
If so I sincerely apologize. Events like this are "heady" things but I will promise you we are coming back to earth now.
.... well I lied. I am still caught in the "moment" several times a day ... and it feels good.
This tune doesn't really belong "here". This tune belongs to a lot of lovely artist who had a ball one sunny day in Texas. There is a video of this up now and it makes me smile still and I have figured out why it does. There are enough smiles in those pictures to keep you grinning a very long time.
About this version:
Ed gave all of us homework and being the studious macjammers we are ... well the dog ate our homework.
"Them Pickers, Grinners, Losers and Winner's" is posted on Ed's site (sloparts) and was a song he wrote specifically for July Jam. I think I am glad the dog ate our collective homework from the standpoint that the band is now, a group of folks who feel darn comfortable with each other.

Lyrics
Them Pickers, Grinners, Losers, Winners - (Ain't nothing' hotter than Texas)
By Ed Wemmerus
Copyright ⓒ May 17, 2010 Edward C. Wemmerus Sr.

Verse
Ain't nothing' hotter than Texas, in the middle of July
Spec-ly down round Greenville, when the music starts to fly
Them pickers, grinners, losers, winners, pull out a guitar
And lay down a little boogie leanin' up against a car
That music soothes the soul, of folks around the block
Spec-ly when those Country boys really start to Rock
Pickin'Verse
Chorus
Well MacJams is the reason, all of us are friends
Sittin' here on Hemby's porch, the music never ends
Those pickers, grinners, losers, winners, haven't got a care
Just pass that guitar down the line, and kick back in a chair
Verse 2
Ain't nothing' hotter than Texas, when MacJams comes to town
Them pickers, grinners, losers, winners, can really lay it down
From Funky Blues to Country Swing, and all that's in between
Sometimes they'll even start to play, the Queen of New Orleans
The main thing that they do, is have a lot of fun
Pickin', grinnin', loosen', winnin', in that Texas sun
Pickin'Verse
Bridge
Pat, & Jack, & Mark & Andy, Sheila, Joe, Damien, Randy,
Jean & Ed, and who knows who, maybe Harold Luper too
Wouldn't it great, if maybe John could come on down
We'd blow the lid right off this, little Texas town
Chorus
Well MacJams is the reason, all of us are friends
Sittin' here on Hemby's porch, the music never ends
Those pickers, grinners, losers, winners, haven't got a care
Just pass that guitar down the line, and kick back in a chair
Tag lines
Those pickers, grinners, losers, winners, haven't got a care.
Just pass that guitar down the line, and kick back in a chair

Nice work Jack. Great guitar playing. That harmonica is kicking butt.
