Sometimes, in the last place you would ever think to look, you will find exactly what you need. Mention "Oildale" and its not likely that visions of wine and roses will come to mind, but maybe it should. Call it fate, destiny, or karma; you could even refer to it as happenstance, and regardless of whether you embrace or disregard such things, its nearly impossible to dismiss the concept of “meant to be” when you hear a story like this. It was a Monday night in April 2008 that a local musician met the girl who would change his life forever; and against all odds, it happened at the last of the original “Bakersfield Sound” honky tonk nightclubs, Rockwell’s Trout’s & The Blackboard Stages of Bakersfield. Every Monday night for the last 13 plus years, the legendary local singer/songwriter/recording artist Red Simpson performs at Trout’s Nightclub and Brett, the musician who “fate” decided to smile down upon, rarely misses a Monday night at the world famous local landmark, so it was not at all unusual that to have there that night, but he had no idea what fate had in store for him. Silvia Castro and her friend and band mate Meghan McCoy of the Heartache Valley Girls were on their way to Trout’s, coming all the way from Livermore just to see Red’s show. To say that he met Silvia at Trout’s that night wouldn’t be exactly accurate as their introduction actually took place at the Acoustic Songwriter Workshop that Rockwell sponsors every Monday and Tuesday night downstairs in the “Green Room” basement of Trout’s; “Underground Oildale” as he likes to call it. As it was, he was half way though a shaky rendition of “Little Ol’ Wine Drinker Me” when Rockwell came down the stairs with two absolutely adorable girls who asked if they could play a song or two and he gladly got out of the way. He thought that it was so cute that these two girls wanted to sing but he was surprised when they announced they would sing a song by Ferlin Husky, and he was bowled over when they not only played the song, but quite literally “ripped it up”. The girls performed a Rose Maddox tune next, followed up by a spot on version of “Tiger By The Tail.” He was speechless. Realistically, there just aren’t all that many people living right here in Bakersfield who even recognize names like Ferlin Huskey & Rose Maddox so it’s an incredibly rare treat to cross paths with gorgeous girls like these two who not only perform, but also appreciate true country music classics! He just had find out where in the world these girls had come from so as they made their exit up the stairs he was hot on Silvia’s heels. He asked them how they happened to be here in Bakersfield and they exclaimed that they had come to see Red Simpson, and that they both love Don Rich! He said, “Who Doesn’t?” He talked to Silvia for many hours by phone after that and they even played several dates together. Needless to say he became their biggest fan and booster, but little by little he found himself becoming even more interested in Silvia as a person than he was in her as a performer. Things got serious around July 4th 2008 when Willie Nelson’s Place was having their big Grand opening in Carl’s Corner TX and Silvia had mentioned how much she really wanted to go. Six days prior to the event, she asked if he wanted to go with her and after attending what he stated was “The best country music show ever”, they were already beginning to plan their September 6th wedding as they headed back home.  Tony Booth, Red Simpson, Rockwell,Silvia Castro, & Brett Neal
Rockwell is honored to announce that he will personally host a September 7th wedding reception for the couple at the last of the original honky tonk nightclubs, the place where they met – Trout’s & The Blackboard Stages of Bakersfield. The public is invited to join in the celebration of what the groom describes as “the Monday night that turned out to be the best thing that has ever happened” to him.
If you, or someone you know, met their “one and only” at Trout’s, please call 661-399-6700 or send an email to Rockwell@troutsblackboard.com and tell Rockwell your story.
