Re Mention in AAA Magazine

I didn't know Audie Murphy was from there.

Wha --?

Oh, awesome, dude, very awesome. And did you know that most AAA World content is circulated among clubs? You could be published in Nevada's edition or DC (okay, Mid-Atlantic) or a bunch of others!

Your old music cannot sustain you through a life, not if you're someone who listens to music every day, at every opportunity. You need input, because pop music is about freshness, about Nelly Furtado and the maddeningly memorable fourth track on a first album by a band you saw on a late-night TV show. And no, that fourth track is not as good as anything on Pet Sounds or Blonde on Blonde or What's Going On, but when was the last time you played Pet Sounds? - Songbook by Nick Hornby

Re Mention in AAA Magazine

We've only been mentioned in The Dallas Morning News that I know of, so this is really cool for us.

Audie Murphy came to Farmersville from Celeste, TX and was living here when he joined the service. When his family came here they were dirt poor and didn't get much help from anyone. Word is he hated Farmersville for that, but around here several cities want to claim him.

Slick, I forgot to tell you.
I wore your t-shirt recently when I got my hair cut. The guy that owns the salon got all excited and was really dissapointed when he saw that the restaurant is in Texas.

My wife won't let me, I mean, recommends I don't wear his t-shirt outside the house.

Joan,

You let George wear that! My wife thought of the slogan and it's associated with the pulled pork product we sell. She ain't like me. There ain't no dirty thoughts running through her head.

Wormie,

The owner is a smart guy. He'll figure out how to get here.

Thanks, folks! Maybe this will put me on the BBQ map. I think I forgot to tell y'all that the catering biz is now open. I hired my oldest to be the manager of that side. So, far we have three BBQ jobs and a filet mignon thang. We're going a little upity, too.

Wow--cooked to perfection? Sounds yummy.

We used to get that magazine when we were members of AAA.

Actually, we don't have a set menu but that will come. I have recipes for mini quiche but have never made them. Literally, we've just opened the doors to the catering side and signed those jobs in the first week. We've still got a long way to go.

Thanks!
