Hey, Everybody! I’ll be playing at Dean’s Downtown, the beautifully renovated old storefront space on Main Street with the crystal clear sound, on Sunday evening from 8-10 p.m. with a new bass player, Nathan Mays!
And on Tuesday from 9-11, I’ll be back at historic La Carafe on Congress Avenue for the “every third Tuesday” show with Greg Henkel on his incredible viofiddle.
I’m really looking forward to these two local shows and I hope that you will join us.
In the meantime, I’m pleased to announce that the new album, Lone Star: Songs and Stories Straight from the Heart of Texas, will be featured in forthcoming issues of two premier periodicals—the thirty year old Big Takeover Magazine in New York and the forty year old Country Music People in England. And both are still in print!
I enjoyed corresponding with Jack Rabid, the impressive founder of the Big Takeover who started the magazine as a grass roots one-page publication in the Lower East Side, covering the vibrant alternative music scene of mid-eighties New York. And I must say that I was tickled when the Country Music People writer who spoke with such a lovely British accent mentioned that one of my comments reminded her of “what Dolly said [to her] last week.”
I would like to send you a link to these pieces, but both magazines are subscription only; however, the Big Takeover is online and Country Music Peoplehas a strong FB presence if you would like to check them out.
In the meantime, here is a link to a flattering write up that Houston Community College posted today:

Y’all come!
