Chapter 31<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That Night in the Airstream<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

     Most of us thought hanging out at the Valley of the Vapors music festival our last night in Hot Springs was a good idea, but Big Sam was lobbying to leave before midnight, so we could make that bar in Mamou, Louisiana, by morning.  \u201cAnd what,\u201d Sally said, \u201cbe so damn tired you can\u2019t dance?!  You gotta be kidding.  Not me, I can skip the bar in Mamou.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

     \u201cYeah Sam, we can hit the bar by mid-afternoon if we check-out early tomorrow,\u201d Rocky said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

     \u201cYouse jus don\u2019 unnerstand,\u201d Sam pleaded, \u201cit\u2019s a SAT-UR-DAY MORN-IN\u2019 bar – the band\u2019s a playin\u2019 and ever\u2019one\u2019s dancin\u2019.  I hear it\u2019s gotta sign, \u2018No dancing on the juke box.\u2019 By afternoon, er\u2019body willa gone home, the prett\u2019 girls all taken . . .\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

     \u201cWe\u2019re convinced,\u201d Sunshine said.  \u201cCome on Big Sam, ride with us.  We can pack an extra twelve-pack before we leave town, and arrive in Mamou half in the tank.\u201d   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

     Big Sam hesitated, thinking Sunshine and Peaches weren\u2019t part of the group just yet, and he might get abandoned along with them.  But he felt a rise just below his belt, thinking about making it with Sunshine, and said, \u201cOkey-doke, I\u2019m goin\u2019 with Peaches and Sunshine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

     The music festival was a big deal.  Central Avenue was closed to traffic.  The restaurants all put tables in the street.  A big stage was set up in front of the Quapaw Bathhouse.  It was a combo blue grass and country music festival.  Huck went back and got his guitar, did an impromptu solo between acts, and was asked to stay on stage and join in.  Whatever had ailed all these old-timers, their day in the spas seemed to have worked.  Just about everybody was up and dancing to the fiddle music, the weather cooperating nicely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

     Rocky and Skip eventually showed up, but Skip seemed subdued and unwilling to do his usual political-baiting routine.  This didn\u2019t stop Patty though, holding the camera interviewing anyone willing to speak.  When we saw the film later, she had gotten some good stuff to blog.  One of the best was, \u201cI voted for Bill Clinton because he was from Arkansas and he could play saxophone.  I voted for Obama because he was a Black man and could shoot some hoops.  I didn\u2019t vote for Trump because he\u2019s a mentally disturbed white man who can\u2019t dance, can\u2019t play basketball, can\u2019t do shit except put people down.\u201d   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      About 10 p.m., the festival started to wrap up.  Peaches said, \u201cLet\u2019s go \u2013 who\u2019s coming with?\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

     Big Sam said, \u201cMe.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

     Then Huck surprised Sam saying he was having too much fun to call it a night, \u201cI\u2019m with ya on the \u2018Sunshine Express\u2019 to the next bar.  Come on Rocky, what is fun anyhow?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

     \u201cCall in the morning when you\u2019re at the bar,\u201d Rocky told Huck, \u201cand we\u2019ll figure out hookin\u2019 back up.  Maybe you can grab a fiddle and keep everybody dancing \u2018til we get there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

     \u201cDamn,\u201d Sam thought.  \u201cHuck tells me what a deep throat Sunshine\u2019s got \u2013 and now it ain\u2019t gonna happen!\u201d  He couldn\u2019t have been more wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

——————————————————————————————————————-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

     Sunshine and Peaches.  Free-Love types all these years, even now in their<\/em> 60\u2019s.  Whatever else you might think of Sunshine, she was genuine to her era, kind, tolerant and open, always bubbly and bright, and into sex \u2013 mutual sex \u2013 all types of sex.  \u201cHey, it\u2019s about pleasure!\u201d she\u2019d say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

     Peaches\u2019 Airstream had a back \u201cbedroom\u201d with a curtain dividing the back from the driver\u2019s area.  First, Huck disappeared in back for a while with Sunshine, while Peaches and Big Sam enjoyed a beer up front.  Big Sam wasn\u2019t saying much, but Peaches<\/em> broke the ice saying, \u201cYou wanna make it with Sunshine?  I\u2019m sure she\u2019s willing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

     A little later, Huck came back up front and said, \u201cSorry Sam, Sunshine says she\u2019s worn out.  All you get is a back rub . . . No –  just kidding, says \u2018come on back if you want.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

     Later on, for the movie, Huck told Patty everything that happened on the Airstream that night:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

     \u201cYep, we finished the 12 pack.  Peaches drove the first few hours and I finished up.  It was daybreak before Sunshine and Big Sam re-emerged.  And get this!  Sunshine starts telling Peaches \u2013 in front of me, no less – it was the best sex she ever had!  \u2018Peaches,\u2019 she says, \u2018I\u2019ve got some new tricks to teach you.  Sam here, knows how to set the mood.  Found some late-night L.A. radio station playing soft<\/em> music.  Got my head right before anything else \u2013 gazing into my eyes, telling me how beautiful I am, asking me how I liked my sex.  And, God knows from where, he pulls out this feather, then he did<\/em> something<\/em> no<\/em> one<\/em> else<\/em> has<\/em> ever<\/em> done<\/em> before<\/em> \u2013 he said, \u2018Ya gotta give me permission to come.\u2019  Now, that\u2019s a new one!  I\u2019ve never been so revved up knowing I was in total control . . . “<\/p>\n\n\n\n

     \u201cAnd what did she have to say about you<\/em>, Huck?\u201d Patty asked for the movie, \u201cDid you try any of our<\/em> old tricks on her?\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

     \u201cHey,\u201d Huck said, \u201cyou know I\u2019ve always respected your wish to keep our sex life private.  No, there\u2019ll never be anyone as good as you, Patty . . . Remember the time, we . . . \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

     \u201cSTOP right there, Huck!\u201d Patty commanded, turning off the camera, her face turning red.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
