Bricktown Lunch & Banjos

In Oklahoma City today, we had the ABCss of Bricktown.  Abuelos Mexican Restaurant, next to Banjos - the American Banjo Museum, and C - Exhibit C, a Chickasaw art gallery that features many Native American artworks. The three of them are in a row on Sheridan Street, right down from a big Oklahoma mural, and they are all worth a visit.  The ss is for Stan and Sally, who joined us for lunch.

Next we were lucky, as there was a Celtic Jam Session scheduled at the museum. Stan is part of this. Although he plays the banjo, he is the guitar player for a Celtic group, and we thoroughly enjoyed listening to them play a favorite and then try a new song for the first time together. Lovely!

It ended all too soon, then we were on the road again westward. We had a quick stop at the Mohawk Lodge in Clinton to see old baskets (not for sale).

We were in a huge thunderstorm in eastern Texas, then we arrived in Amarillo for a late dinner and early evening.
