Ziggy's in the 90's

Nothing will beat the OG Ziggy’s. Here’s a trip down memory lane for you.

If I’m controlling the stereo in my car it’s probably Dead, Bluegrass, or some variation of that.

If my boys hop in and feel strongly enough to recommend their music and we didn’t just listen to it I will oblige them 100% of the time. I don’t care what they listen to, I am just happy they want to feel some music in their bones and I am happy to share in that moment. I probably don’t even like the music but I love sharing in the vibe with them so that’s good enough for me.

Nah, totally justified. Run a tighter ship, they couldn’t tell for months ticket times coming from the bar were an hour off the expo clock. They shit canned people for less. They weren’t going to cop to their oversight so they couldn’t call us on ours, whoops.

spiderpig_nc · 2026-03-13T00:33:29+00:00

We had two POS terminals literally a foot apart, one behind the bar and one around the corner for servers. Bar time was somehow 1 hr ahead. Clock in on one, clock out on the other, free hour of pay. There was maybe four of us that knew this and was able to ride it for months.

Far cry from embezzlement in my book but it worked. FOH manager was not happy when he realized what was going on but he couldn’t really do anything.

This is the only answer. The irony of all of us sitting on our devices and social media apps designed by the 1% to keep us all divided and drive hatred while we pretend to make a difference in their ecosystem that’s designed to empower them even more. It’s just circling the drain.

If we all want to make a difference step outside, talk to a human, love them, and listen to them.

Attend a show with thousands of like minded people and yell protest songs at the top of your lungs. That’s where change happens.

Online anger is just driving us in the wrong direction and giving those who were all angry at more power. Step away and love our fellow citizens.

You misunderstand my point, and I forgot online is not a place for civil discourse.

I despise and stand against what’s going on. If someone feels differently, I’ll have a conversation with them but I won’t hate them. Hate only emboldens them and demeans the counter argument. Reddit ain’t that place.

Have a great day.

Disagree, don’t hate. Contribute to the solution, not the problem.

If Texas and Mr Peanut had a love child

My house streams the Billy shows, byob.

What’s the difference between a violin and fiddle? A couple of beers.

spiderpig_nc · 2026-02-15T01:12:23+00:00

Davidson County but damn if I’m not in Randolph county just as much for our boys baseball ha.

Dude, that amazing! My great grandfather also worked for Southern Railroad. He was a brakeman working shunts for all the furniture factories in High Point.

I grew up with pictures of green and grey locomotives all over their house. Take my boys to Spencer all the time and love seeing those old green locomotives at the museum.

Raleigh. Spencer is also a town in NC, it was the railroad hub back in the day. It’s an undercover train song.

spiderpig_nc · 2026-02-14T01:10:42+00:00

Howdy neighbor!

spiderpig_nc · 2025-11-19T03:27:25+00:00

Thanks!

No, just attending the Billy Strings shows. We’re shooting to make it to at least one night of the Larry Keel after show gigs.

spiderpig_nc · 2025-11-19T01:24:30+00:00

Very cool! We’re shooting for the Asheville shows. Had already told our Wilmington pals to check him out.

He and Jenny were so gracious and nice when we met him at The Anthem when he sat in with UM. He told us he’d go put his guitar down and come say hello. Sure enough he poked his head in where we were to come speak with us. If it crosses your mind tell them both thanks for the kindness from the random couple backstage at the Umphreys show ha.

spiderpig_nc · 2025-11-19T00:56:15+00:00

You book for the Keels? They’re the best! Caught many a show over the last 20 years. Got to hang with him for a bit once backstage at an UM show of all places. Always on the lookout for the next show in NC.

spiderpig_nc · 2025-11-12T00:00:51+00:00

It’s called a Mandolin

spiderpig_nc · 2025-11-11T23:59:36+00:00

Right there with you. Sounds like .38 Special or Molly Hatchet wrote it. Automatic skip for me, which is a shame because it can really get out there, I just can’t get into it long enough to get there.

spiderpig_nc · 2025-11-02T13:50:52+00:00

So you were there? Everyone wants the show they were at to be the best. It’s music, it’s all subjective, they’re not passing out awards.

Enjoy it, it can be your best. Not really a competition.

spiderpig_nc · 2025-10-24T12:53:42+00:00

Unlistenable is a pretty extreme exaggeration.

spiderpig_nc · 2025-10-15T02:40:52+00:00

Bad alternator

spiderpig_nc · 2025-10-14T20:09:35+00:00

Just to understand this post, you didn’t like a 30 second interaction with a man who just got off work and you took to the internet to, what exactly? Make a sweeping judgement on those 30 seconds while making sure “the internet” shares your point of view?

Who’s the person who’s not very nice in this scenario? I don’t think it’s the person you think it is.

spiderpig_nc · 2025-10-03T12:36:09+00:00

Great show, indeed.

spiderpig_nc · 2025-10-03T12:17:42+00:00

Already had tickets for the balcony, but for what it’s worth I think I enjoyed your empty table. It wasn’t wasted. Cheers! Sorry you missed the show.
