\nFolks I’ll be honest I been up over 28 hours right now and MANY THANKS to
\nMr. Kurt Fortmeyer for helping me set up camp Hayes where we are giving
\naway FREE STUFF and I’m trying my best to write these articles to you.
\nI AM LIVE from Outlaw Fest and this is my first LIVE side article on
\nJoshua Morningstar.<\/p>\n

We have a long long history of background together before we even met
\nlast year for the first time.
\nAnd tonight this is my special feature on him as he does his set as the third
\nact of day 1.<\/p>\n

THIS IS a special article and it’s my personal accolade to him and how
\nmuch I have seen him grow in the past year. He’s traveled his BUTT OFF
\nPlaying everything from Moonrunners to Outlaw Fest to Up in Illinois
\nwith Donnie Wymer.
\nhe is a hard working road musician that deserves every piece of credit here.<\/p>\n

Now mind you I was in the middle of a recharge and judging the upcoming
\nstorms tonight and I want to set up a little different tomorrow to
\ncover the shows better and get a signal in my tent..so I was checking out angles.<\/p>\n

He opened with “Sellout Sellebrity” a tune I have heard him sing
\nmany times. And also played ‘Talk Me To Texas”.<\/p>\n

He covered Ernest Tubb’s Driving Nails In My Coffin from 1946.
\nAnd he did his single from Altco Records called “Brand New Angel”.
\nHe then called up Hal Bruni to perform Wayne Mill’s ‘Last Honky Tonk”.<\/p>\n

“March To The Gallows” was another good song as well as “Bottle To The Bottom”.
\nVERY GOOD choice of songs as a setlist here tonight!
\nAnd he did his “x Rated” song “As Long As You Aint Comin Back”…which I have
\nalways thought was cleverly written.<\/p>\n

He played “I Never Go Around Mirrors” and “Grip Of The Devil”
\nand closed his set with some I missed in preparation of
\nthe BIG PRESENTATION:<\/p>\n

In celebration of his growth and friendship Kenneth Marr Graphics
\npresented him with a HUGE portrait of him AND Even though our
\nbuddy A.J.Hancock from Diamondback Stringworks couldn’t make it
\ndue to family emergency he WILL BE presented with his VERY OWN
\n“Lefty Frizzell style guitar!<\/p>\n

He was also presented with 50 smaller portraits and signed the
\nfirst one for Mr. Kenneth.<\/p>\n

Kenneth Marr has done a lot for ALL of us for sure and he continues
\nto do this all the time. He is a damn fine friend to us all.<\/p>\n

Joshua Morningstar you deserve this and much more. I’m honored
\nto call you a friend and honored you allowed me to launch
\nmy ONE YEAR ARTICLE!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
