RON SWARNER: THEY HAVE GAME >>>

Over the years I’ve had some fun with Rob Hill, half of the country-ish duo Game Six out of Olympia. He might be the funniest guy I know. He penned a humor column for me in the ’90s. He also might know more about baseball than anyone else on the planet, which explains the band’s name based on Bill Buckner’s blunder in Game Six of the 1986 National League Championship Series.

Hill and his musical partner Derek Harris have just released their second album, God, Love and Mexico. Joined by vocalist Brittany Kingery, the songs, as Hill explains, revolve around the subject matter of God, love and Mexico â€" the primary ingredients of happiness as well as the primary ingredients of his music, which is “country-slash,” as all the songs have elements of country.

If you have missed Game Six’s two album release parties â€" one in their hometown of Olympia and the other in their second hometown of Bucerias, Mexico, near Puerto Vallarta â€" then grab a copy on iTunes or CDBaby.com.

Here is a taste â€" the tropical-country Shamrock Bar, their self produced video on a zero budget but filmed entirely on location in Bucerias.
