European Dancehall Queen Contest

Dancehall Queen is a Jamaican style of dance. Its origins are deep in the cariebbean culture and communities. It spread around the world in various Jmaican communities, like in the USA or in Canada. Far behind this situation is the one in Europe, where the movement isn't yet well known. An international DHQ contest has been held in Montego Bay, Jamaica, for the last ten years, while there has been only one European contest in 2007.

In april 2008, in Bologna, Italy, there was a second EDHQ contest. It attracted DHQs from nine different countries: Italy, France, Holland, Germany, UK, Austria, Finland, Poland and Spain. It was a one day event. All the DHQs arrived in Bologna during the same day of the contest and flew back to their countries in the night after the contest.

This was the first occasion for many of them to meet. They usually keep in contact by web communities, such as Myspace. After a few minutes together in the venue they became very close, supporting each other in every moment of the competition.

They spent most of their time in the backstage, a tiny tent just behind the stage. They went on stage for a general reharsal and again in the backstage for a costume change.

Since their arrival in the venue the tension rose. Through moments of relax, make up sessions and waiting they tried to concentrate on the upcoming show.

In a few more than 45 minutes and a few rounds the judges crowned the winner: Champagne from the UK. She enjoyed the victory dancing together with Amzone and Suna, the second and the third.

All their tension was gone now and DHQs prepared their baggage. Some went to the hotel for a few hour of rest after a long day. Some other went directly to the airport.

Over 12 hours their feelings changed, from happiness to exhaustion, and drove them through the contest.

Corine is a 21 years old girl from London. She i s mother of a child and is very religious. She is completely passionate in dancehall queen style.

Possibly these are hygrocybe ceracea but could be another yellow waxcap. They're on some moss next to my driveway and I couldn't resist them. OM 90mm at f8

"Let's Go to Luckenbach, Texas ..." by Bill

Luckenbach was first established as a community trading post and was one of the few that never broke a peace treaty with the Comanche Indians, with whom they traded.

Its population increased to a high of 492 in 1904, but by the 1960s, Luckenbach was almost a ghost town.

An ad in the paper offering "town — pop. 3 — for sale" led Hondo Crouch, rancher and Texas folklorist, to buy Luckenbach for $30,000 in 1970, in partnership with Kathy Morgan and actor Guich Koock.

Today the town maintains a ghost town feel with its small population and strong western roots. One of its two main buildings houses the remnants of a post office, a working saloon, and a general store. The other is the dance hall. The post office was closed on April 30, 1971 and its zip code (78647) was retired. The general store remains active as a souvenir shop where visitors can purchase a variety of items, including merchandise featuring the town's iconic motto: "Everybody's Somebody in Luckenbach."

Luckenbach's association with country music began in the summer of 1973, when Jerry Jeff Walker, backed by the Lost Gonzo Band, recorded a live album at the Luckenbach Dancehall called Viva Terlingua. That album became an outlaw country classic.

Four years later (and a year after Crouch's death), Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson memorialized Luckenbach with the song "Luckenbach, Texas (Back to the Basics of Love)," co-written by rock and soul record producer Chips Moman and keyboardist Bobby Emmons.

Notable concert appearances in the town include Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Pat Green, Robert Earl Keen, and Lyle Lovett. The little community is still an active home to country music as of 2013, where folks gather by the score to listen to area musicians and drink cold beer, particularly Shiner Bock, a local favorite brewed by the oldest brewer in Texas.

"Pickin' for the Record" was a fundraiser held in Luckenbach on August 23, 2009, for the organization, Voices of a Grateful Nation. A Guinness Book of World Records was broken for the most guitar players gathered at one time to play (continuously, at least 5 minutes.) The Luckenbach record broke the standing German record by 50, with the official count at 1868. The day before the Texas event, Elvis Presley’s guitar player made a similar attempt in Louisiana and only signed up 800 pickers.
