Tonight we - that's me and the party of tour operators I'm travelling with - drank and danced at The Broken Spoke, a honky tonk about 10 minutes' drive from the centre of Austin. It's an Austin institution, as you can see from the shot of the memorabilia room.
Sadly, even the joint's considerably talented dance instructor couldn't make much of us (beginners are welcome, by the way, and the lessons are genuinely very good) but it's a pleasure to sit around the dancefloor and watch the locals tear it up.
Below the photos there's a snatch of video. Apologies for the abrupt ending: I'd been called to the floor...


The band playing in the vid is The Derailers.
Next time, get someone to film you on the floor so we can check the Midgley moves :-)
