We heard music coming from the Yukon Bar, where the folk band Blackwater Railroad Company was playing. There was a barefoot fiddler player jumping around the stage, there was Uncle Val's gin, there was electricity in the air. We played what we remember to be an unstoppable streak of pool — five games, six games, we couldn't lose. We remember that night as the one where our relationship began in earnest. We called up Blackwater Railroad Company and told them this story – and they agreed to play at our wedding!
