After I emailed the newsletter last week, several friends in music contacted me to say that they'd tried to reply and were wondering if my email address has changed because their messages were bounced back to them. The problem should be fixed now, and I'm glad because I always look forward to hearing from everyone who takes a few minutes to write. My email address is still glenna@glennabell.com and if you choose to reply to this newsletter, I should receive it happily. I'm busy gearing up for the show at Design Within Reach (200 West 2nd Street) in Austin from 6-9 Thursday evening (August 16). It looks to be an interesting event, including not only my performance, but an artist's exhibition as well. There's a good write-up and photos at http://www.dwr.com/studios/austin. I also received word this morning that AmericanaOK is playing one of my new songs in Edinburgh, Scotland and New Zealand: "The East Side" with Texas Country Music Hall of Famer, Johnny Bush. If you'd like to hear it, the link is at http://americanaok.libsyn.com/ and it should be accessible for a few days. I listened earlier today and enjoyed this Americana radio show very much. "The East Side" plays a few minutes into the program, and it is something else to be sitting here in Houston in my hundred year old house, hearing me and Johnny Bush just crooning our hearts out from such a distant land. I must say I'm flattered by the very kind words of deejay Tom Fahey, and to hear them uttered with such old-world charm is a real novelty. Oh, and I can't forget. Speaking of radio, I hope that you will tune in to KNON FM 89.3 in Dallas (www.knon.org) each Monday at 5 pm for Texas History Lee Powell's entertaining and enlightening ten minutes of Texas lore with deejay Trevor Fought on the Texas Renegade show. For most of the summer, KNON has debuted a song from my forthcoming album, The Road Less Traveled, in a featured spot following Lee's, and I will be there at the station on Labor Day to perform live on the airwaves between 4 and 6 pm in a special holiday program. Y'all come!
