Down near the Red River, a trio called Branch and Steel (Wurlitzer, pedal steel, drums) play a slow instrumental set on the outdoor patio at Freebirds Burrito House, just as the sun turns golden. "We don't have a Myspace page," the bearded pedal steel player says, "or a Facebook page, or a Twitter feed, or a website, or CDs. But, we do have a tip jar." Sometimes, I love old school.
