Someday!
There is an amazing, almost magical event at the river every Sunday - blues and bbq invades the quiet riverside campground at Katfish Katy’s in Huntsdale, Missouri.
It begins on the first warm days of Spring, endures the heat of Summer, swells in the cool Fall . . . and ends when the winter chill is too cold for the musicians’ nimble fingers.
Every Sunday, a crowd arrives for the afternoon of blues and bbq, bringing their chairs, coolers, blankets . . . their friends, families, dogs . . . arriving by boats, motorcycles, cars, trucks, bicycles and RVs . . .
To spend a few hours on the banks of the Missouri River, listening to sounds of a jam session from a mix of local musicians . . . feasting on grilled burgers and brats from the Naked Hippies BBQ . . . sharing a beer with a friend . . . laughing, dancing, relaxing . . . enjoying the atmosphere of fun.
Musicians of all ages, from all walks of life, take turns getting on the stage to share their talents at the blues and bbq event. Some of them are there every Sunday . . . some show up every now and then . . . some have their first experience of jammin’ with the veterans!
Arlan Gaus is the leader of this blues and bbq party. His passion is the blues . . . his dream became real when he helped build the stage that would provide the beautiful setting at Katfish Katy’s campground in Huntsdale, Missouri.
The stage offers an open invitation to anyone yearning to join in the fun . . . to a nervous singer who has never performed with a band . . . or a young guitarist who is just beginning to master the chords . .
Like young Colin Guill, who has evolved over the past few years into a mighty presence on stage . . . playing lead guitar, bass, drums and keyboard . . . and belting out the blues as if he’s suffered years of heartbreak and loss in his short span of sixteen years.
It’s not just the musicians that are blended by the melting pot . . . people from all walks of life come together . . . they talk and laugh, dance and cheer, eat and drink . . . as the music plays and the burgers sizzle.
Some are there every Sunday no matter what. Others come now and then, as their schedules allow. Some make the trip down to the river for blues and bbq for the first time, not sure what to expect, but always grateful they made the trip because . . .
to let go of all the stress and worries of the week as they sit at the river’s edge, under the shade trees, stretched out in their chairs or on a blanket, a breeze blowing across their face . . . releasing everything that troubles them, letting it all wash away with the river’s constant flow.
For a few hours on Sunday, the crowd at the blues and bbq is fully present in the NOW. Yesterday is gone, tomorrow isn’t yet here . . . right now is all that matters.
And the river waits for the next Sunday . . . when the blues and bbq will work its magical powers again . . . and for a few hours . . . all will be good and perfect . . . and fun!
