Larry Joe Taylor Festival rescheduled for second year in a row. Great camaraderie, funny, and good songs. We missed the first part of Parker's show, which started at 5 on the Bud Light Stage, because we were enjoying the Coalition and the Margaritas:.

Then we hauled the chairs and coolers and set up for music at the Bud Light Stage. The front of the Bud Light Stage is always shoulder to shoulder with young kids having a blast and singing to the music.

Us older folks set up the chairs towards the rear of the vast majority of the fans and, enjoy the people and the music, watch the jumbo tron, play dominos and eat appetizers, chat with the neighbors and those that pass by, and, of course, drink lots of beer while the following sang to us from the Bud Light Stage:. I'm sad to say that by Saturday morning we were too tired to make it to see Randy Brown and his friends for Bloody Mary Morning, but we did make it to the Allsup's Stage at 12 for music from:.

We reluctantly moved the chairs and coolers from the protection of the wind out to the field of the Bud Light stage and for the next several hours we got sand blasted with cold air and sand as we sat in the chairs listening to:. Right after LJT's set we were so cold and sand blasted that we headed back to the motorhome to warm up, wash the grit out of every orifice we had, and play some 42 while we listened to Casey Donahew in the warm motorhome.

What an amazing 6 days of fun and music. If you are planning on coming next year and If you can afford it, the best way to enjoy the Texas Music Festival is to get VIP tickets. There are a variety of options for VIP tickets, some of which include: back stage seating on the Bud Light Stage and Allsup's Stage; tasty buffet style dinners on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday; access to the VIP lounge with a full bar, free back massage, and TVs to watch the main stage music; VIP golf cart shuttle to and from your campsite; a VIP camping area with water and electric; and use of the air conditioned VIP very important potty restroom.

The VIP tickets are worth it for the buffet, watching the bands and crowd from backstage, and a full bar. It's amazing how quickly the week of superb music passed by. Our congratulations to the Taylor family and their staff for all the months of hard work that they pour into the festival and to the hundreds of volunteers and paid employees who make sure that the Festival runs smooth and is fun for everyone.

Thanks to the guys who come in weeks before the festival to stake out campsites, the guys who pick up the trash or direct us to our campsites, the security force and local police who make us feel safe, the vendors who feed us and sell us merchandise, and the stage hands and MCs who make sure the bands start on time. See you next year. Larry Joe Taylor's Texas Music Festival Normally, to get ready for one of the best music festivals in Texas which is Larry Joe Taylor's Texas Music Festival I start preparing a couple weeks in advance by sitting in a lawn chair for hours, have a Bloody Mary in the morning and drink beer from 10 to midnight, turn the radio up real loud and try to hear what my wife is yelling at me as country music blares in the background, visit a crowded shopping mall to get used to big crowds and trying to navigate through them, try to stay up past midnight, practice carrying a cooler full of beer and appetizers, and stay away from pizza, fajitas, burgers, and corn dogs which sustains me and soaks up the beer during the festival.
