Another “about time” first for us here at the Barlor, look what Tami has in her hands! We finally got our custom cups fabricated, at least the 4 and 6 ounce versions, 8 ounce cups gonna take another day or two but that’s alright, we’ve gone this long without ’em another day ain’t gonna hurt none! No more non-de script plain white cups that could’ve come from anywhere, now when you’re showin’ off your favorite flavors on the instagram or walking the streets of downtown McKinney folks are gonna know you got Cocktail Creamery ice cream in that cup… 😁
It might not be officially Summer yet but it sure feels like it, it’s hot out there and kinda humid too, temps reaching up to 91 with lots of sun today. Overnight lows down in the upper 70’s and more of the same for karaoke Wednesday. A chance of showers very early Friday but clearing with time to spare for Friday Night Live with the amazing Bedlam Station!
“Hot weather and ice cream go together like peas and carrots”… I think Forrest Gump said something like that! Whoever said it first, I agree; come to think of it, it might have been me… 😜 Anyway… it is hot and we do make the ice cream (and crafty cocktails too) so come and getchoo some in a brand new cup, take a selfie with that thing and post it for all the world to see; took almost 7 years but our cups finally reflect who we be!

I sure ain’t no doctor and this shouldn’t be taken as medical advice but hey, I saw this and had to run with it. This is the kind of post ya get when I don’t have a good Barlor picture… 😆 Who knew ice cream was actually good for ya? Not only are we helping to make you feel good about life in general, cause ice cream definitely makes ya feel good about life in general, we’re also helping to make hearts across DFW healthy at the same time! And not only your heart, nope, we don’t stop there; we give your liver a little exercise too cause our ice cream is boozy… 🤣 That’s how much we love all y’all, we take care of your minds, hearts and livers when you eat our ice cream friends… 😉
Looks like we got us a mostly sunny Monday to help us take care of our bodies today cause some sunshine is good for us too doncha know! Highs up at 90 degrees and rising slowly throughout the week and lots more sun in store! Friday is lookin’ fabulous and we’re gonna turn it up loud once again to exercise our ears as the Bedlam Station Band returns to rock start our weekend!
Let’s get healthy together this week by each one of us eating our daily recommended allowance of boozy ice cream. How to calculate your daily allowance? Be scientific like me and measure by cup size; if you feel like a small, get a small and if you feel like a large, get a large! Trust that science cause that kinda science science is our friend, especially when it comes to eating ice cream… 😜

A good Sunday sundae for a rainy day might be chocolate all around! Let’s start with a fresh chewy warm brownie and top that thing with gobs of chocolate liqueur infused ”Double Dark Goodnight Chocolate” ice cream, load it all up with hot chocolate fudge, smothered with bourbon vanilla whipped cream and top it with a cherry as always for good luck… 🍒
Sunday scripture: Acts 11:17 KJB… “Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?”
Good question Peter, Gods plans for His creation will proceed in His timeframe no matter what we may say or do about it. And, might I add, I’m personally very glad about that! Peter’s Hebrew brethren hear the matter as recounted by him and draw similar conclusions.
Acts 11:18 KJB… “When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.”
It seems as if the Gentiles are beginning to be an example to the Hebrews as God is beginning to turn His focus upon them. Meanwhile…
Acts 11:19 KJB… “Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to NONE BUT UNTO THE JEWS ONLY.”
The gospel Jesus gave the Hebrew disciples to preach they continued to preach (after the anomaly of Cornelius) to NONE BUT THE JEWS ONLY! To say that Peter and his brethren continued their Kingdom ministry to the Gentiles is clearly false; their ministry is to the circumcision whereas Paul’s ministry of grace is to the uncircumcision. We will see this dichotomy far more clearly in Acts 15; we see here the 12 are ministering only to Jews, with the single exception of Cornelius and his family.
Acts 11:21 KJB… “And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.”
The Hebrew ministry is still gathering its remnant as it has in the past and will once again sometime in the future! Paul later refers to this group in:
Romans 11:5 KJB… “Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.”

The Texas Music Revolution is in full swing here in Historic Downtown McKinney and there was music everywhere last night! If Texas Country, Red Dirt and Americana is your thing, the place you wanna be is there on the square and you just might be lucky enough to get to hear the legend Ray Wylie Hubbard play! This outstanding festival of Texas music royalty is organized by the best damn FM radio station in the country KHYI 95.3 The Range (OFFICIAL). Come and enjoy all the TMRfest.com has to offer which is a whole bunch!
As is per usual for this fest, it’s electric in more ways than one y’all. The music is pure fire… 🔥🔥🔥 and so too is the weather; every year it seems we have scattered thundershowers bouncing around throughout the day and into the evening too… 🫤 Radar is showing a big mess just off to our east, but maybe if the no-rain vibes are fierce and focused we can keep that big rainy mess at bay… 🤞🤞🤞 I just betcha we can!
I’m asking for some prayers this day friends. Our dear friend and musical guest Lou Ann Price Music last evening was taken by ambulance to the McKinney ER last night mid-set and then transferred to Medical City Plano around midnight suffering from severe head pain. CT scans showed a small but troubling bleed in her brain which is requires immediate attention. Thanks to the McKinney Emergency Services we all got her right where she needed to be immediately and this was caught right quick in real time. Tonight’s guests Nikki Nelson and Steve Oliver had their own family emergency and needed to cancel their performance this evening at our place as well. “God is on His throne and prayer changes things” as Southwest Radio Ministries has been proclaiming since 1933. May our prayers and the Good Lord change things for the better for all our musical friends this very day… 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
And may all y’all have an absolutely wonderful day today enjoying the best music Texas has to offer all the while enjoying the best boozy ice cream McKinney has to offer too… 😊 It’s gonna be a blast rain or shine downtown today and I hope all y’all have a ball!

Woohoo, it’s finally here, happy Friday friends! You know it’s not just any Friday today, nope… it’s Texas Music Revolution Friday… 🤠 Our hometown downtown square is all about Texas music all weekend long and we sure are a part of the fun! The Barlor is very honored to present Lou Ann Price Music this evening and we’re gonna fire up the tunes just a wee bit early at 7:30 to better fit in with other scheduled bands. If you got a ticket to the big show you’re in for a mighty fine time but lemme tell ya, you don’t need a ticket to come hear Lou Ann’s exceptional vocals blended beautifully with her signature pearl white Gretsch 12-string guitar! A gifted singer/songwriter for sure and a very sweet soul too… 😊
Got a bit of rain in our area this morning moving north pretty quickly. Might see a few more spotty showers as the day progresses but I’m thinkin’ we’ll be mostly high and dry for a good time Friday night! Tomorrow’s another story altogether; let’s keep them no-rain vibes flowin’ for all the bands scheduled to play and hope the rain stays away!
We were very much looking forward to having Nikki Nelson and Steve Oliver come play for us on Saturday night but a family emergency has called them to be elsewhere. We certainly hope that situation works itself out for the best knowing the decision to cancel did not come lightly. Our Saturday night is gonna be a great one with legends like Ray Wylie Hubbard and Wade Bowen headlining right here in downtown McKinney… 😎 Y’all get fired up for some fun and we’ll see ya there on the square all weekend long as we soak up our incredibly rich Texas music scene!

This dude right here is as cool as they come and he’s headlining the Texas Music Revolution this weekend hosted by KHYI 95.3 The Range (OFFICIAL) right here in Historic Downtown McKinney! Y’all don’t wanna miss Ray Wylie Hubbard and his hotter than a rocket, loud, ornery and locked in the pocket band, so getchoo a ticket right here… TMRfest.com I love the old school and this picture of a true master craftsman in studio with the open reel analog tape deck speaks volumes; I have an old Teac myself… 😎 Ray, if you’re listening I’d love to buy you a boozy ice cream when you’re in town this weekend; hit it brother… youtu.be/7xk9-lVpttE?si=OypQLkJH664ESDcl 🤠
Let’s turn them no-rain vibes up to 11 y’all, our forecast is lookin’ sketchy… youtu.be/R8b9HEIx5J8?si=GddsIwJZMzqKxIk7 Today and Friday seem about the same with high temps in the mid 80’s and a 30% chance of late afternoon/evening thundershowers. That chance goes up to 80% on Saturday and we need to chant those storm clouds right on outta here… 🤞
Friday night at the Barlor we are featuring the most amazing Lou Ann Price Music to come and play for ya and we’re very much looking forward to that! We had a cancellation this morning for Saturday unfortunately; a family emergency will prevent Nikki Nelson and Steve Oliver from performing. We hope things turn from bad to a whole lot better for them both as I know this decision was not made lightly.
If ya wanna beat the weekend crowds it is Friday Eve today… 😉 The city will start setting up for the festival but I’m pretty sure the roads will remain open to vehicular traffic. We’ll be open till 10:00 tonight and will hope to see YOU sometime before this exciting weekend is through!
