Believe in a thing called The Darkness

Musical geniuses of The Darkness will grace us with their presence on Tuesday, April 19 as the strapping lads of Britain perform on the Back to the USSA Tour at the House of Blues for an all ages extravaganza. 

Unless you have little to no taste in music, let me remind you The Darkness delivered us here in North America the album Permission to Land, which featured the beautiful song “I Believe in a Thing Called Love” in 2003.

Robert Sloan photos

Last weekend Rayburn Country, just north of Jasper, was at its very finest with plenty of sunshine, morning temperatures in the upper 40s and afternoon highs in the 70s. For many folks, it was a prime opportunity for a round of golf. For others it was a perfect day for bass and crappie fishing on big Sam Rayburn Lake.
