Terlingua Moon - Vol. 34, No. 42

 TERLINGUA MOON

October 16, 2023
by Terlingua Thinking Team

"The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not 'get over' the loss of a loved one; you'll learn to live with it. You will heal and you will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same nor would you want to."  - Elisabeth Kübler-Ross and David Kessler, On Grief and Grieving

TERLINGUA MUSIC BASH
Al Barlow and Garth Angleton from New Braunfels started the "never for profit" Music Bash in the 1990's and each October musicians from the Central Texas area come to spend the 3rd weekend playing music with local Terlingua musicians. It has resulted in decades long friendships and countless amazing song circles. It's not a huge thing, it's just a nice thing. Hope you'll be in town during the week of October 19th-22nd and be looking to meet up with some old/new friends.

Some of the musicians visiting have booked shows in area venues, check local club's listings. Traditions that will happen include a meet and greet/open mic on the patio at Alex and Marti Whitmore's place at 1 Franklin Circle, this year it will be at 6:00 p.m. Friday Oct. 20th. Bring a snack to share if you can!

Then Saturday morning at 10 a.m. we will begin to gather on the porch in front of The Starlight for a walking/playing/singing parade to The Boathouse for the annual costume contest at 11:30 a.m.. The theme this year is Steampunk. We really hope for local participation. Please come out and make it a costume party! It'll be a sight to see.

Much more information on Music Bash and the costume contest can be found on a public Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/groups/320415517015104 or by searching "Terlingua Music Bash 2023".
