Dean Strickland was kicked out
of Luckenbach, Texas for no good reason!

On the morning of July 8, 2009, at Luckenbach, Texas, I asked to speak
to Virgil Holdman Jr., the Luckenbach security guard about the fact
that Tracy Thomas, the Luckenbach food vendor, in
a hostile manner, refused to serve me the night before for
an unvalid reason of his accusation toward me of what he
called identity theft. (I have stayed overnight with hundreds of
strangers in my travels, and have always stayed on the up and up with
those people, and I stayed overnight with him and his wife on June 22,
2009 in their home. On June 28, 2009, at 11pm., while I was staying
overnight with a nice lady I met in Marble Falls, TX, the
Luckenbach food vendor called me on my cell phone and started
accusing me of what he called identity theft. During that phone
call the food vendor said to me that he would get me fired from my gigs in the hill country, and
that he would hunt me down, and for me not to underestimate him. Then
the next morning I called the folks at Luckenbach, TX to tell them
about the weird phone call I received from their food vendor.
Then the food vendor called me again a little later on Monday
morning, June 29, 2009, telling me to forget the whole thing ever
happened, and I told him during that same phone conversation that I
don't appreciate being threatened. Then during that same phone
conversation the food vendor responded to me by telling me he
doesn't make threats, he makes promises, and that if I don't want
trouble don't start trouble. After that I immediately made a report of
the weird phone calls to the Fredericksburg, TX police department.)
The folks at Luckenbach stated to me that they had no opinion
regarding the reported phone calls, though in my opinion they
treated me very rudely, because of the reported phone calls. On the
morning of July 8, 2009, Virgil, the Luckenbach security guard yelled
at me that I was told before to stay away from the food vendor, which I
had not been told before, and that if I told anyone at Luckenbach that
the food vendor would not serve me food he would tell me to leave. Jimmy Lee Jones,
the performer at Luckenbach that day, treated me rudely, and complained
to the security guard when I asked him on the morning of July 8,
2009, if the food vendor was talking bad about me. And because,
Jimmy Lee Jones and those at Luckenbach were so rude to me, I
booed his performance that morning, giving him a taste of his own
medicine, and he didn't like it, and went to tell the security guard.
While he was going to tell the security guard, a gentleman walked up to
me, and asked me if I was going to play next. I answered that man's
question saying, "They won't let me play, and they won't feed me,
because the food vendor is accusing me of idently theft" with
the audience and the security guard listening. The security guard then
kicked me out, and I hitchhiked away.
On July 8, 2009, Dean was kicked out of Luckenbach, Texas, and from
there he hitchhiked to Johnson City. Then, Dean hitchhiked to
Luckenbach, Texas from San Antonio, Texas. On June 6, 2009, while in
San Antonio, Texas, Dean received a phone call from a person who had
seen him perform at the Friendly Bar Bistro in Johnson City, Texas on
the fourth of July, and whom asked him to play at a private party in
Dripping Springs, Texas on July 11, 2009, and he booked it. While
hitchhiking out of Marble Falls, Texas, Dean sold a Hitchhiking
Guitarman CD to someone with whom he hitched a ride (name unknown).
On July 5, 2009, Dean hitchhiked as far as San Antonio, Texas from
Marble Falls, making his way towards the Rio Grande Valley, and
received a phone call from Ed Thompson, the Manager of the Friendly Bar
Bistro in Johnson City, offering Dean a gig there on June 9, 2009, and
Dean booked it. Then, Dean began hitchhiking to the Rio Grande Valley
to perform at Harley's Country Store & Beer Garden in Bayview,
Texas on July 17, 2009. On July 5, 2009, Dean spoke on the phone with
Debbie, the manager of
located at 935 E
FM 1151 in Amarillo, Texas, and got himself booked to perform there on
August 6, 2009 at 7pm. On July 5, 2009, Dean hitchhiked to Marble
Falls, Texas from Johnson City, and performed as scheduled at The R Bar
& Grill. On July 5, 2009, Dean performed as scheduled at the
Friendly Bar, and the Spange Dangle festival and parade.
