A guitarist in a cowboy hat performing under blue stage lights

Under the Brim

The Texas Sound Collection

Reflections

The photograph makes him look almost still.

Head down. Face hidden beneath the brim. Hands on the guitar.

But there was nothing quiet about what came next.

He could make that Telecaster sound country one minute, blues the next, and then take off somewhere entirely his own.

I caught him in the space between the notes.

The picture looks calm.

It wasn't.
