I got to crash a private party in Houston this week where the Swon Brothers were performing a small just-two-guys-and-their-guitars concert. I’ve talked about the Swon Brothers before here — they’re from eastern Oklahoma and have lots of connections to my home town. I enjoyed the ‘small’ show even more than I’d enjoyed the big flashy version I saw a few weeks back. Thanks to the brothers and my buddy Greg (their tour manager) for letting me join the fun.
