I'm back from SXSW and getting ready for another run of shows in Houston and a very special one next weekend (March 29) at the Double J Hacienda and Art Ranch in Mineral Wells, Texas, with the inimitable Jimmy Baldwin (http://www.jimmybmusic.com) and Nancy Apple (http://www.nancyapple.com)! What an amazing place--a veritable "ranch to the stars" where the likes of John Wayne, Bette Davis, and President and Nancy Reagan vacationed back in the days of wine and roses . . . It is well worth checking out the Web site at http://www.djartranch.com/About_Us.html for a fascinating pictorial history of the ranch from its inception in the early 1940s to its current transformation by Jimmy and his accomplished wife, Jane Baldwin. In the meantime, I received a request to appear on an NBC-affiliate station, KETK, in Tyler, Texas tomorrow morning. I'll be in the studio at 8:30 to record some songs, which will be edited-in during a live interview at 11 a.m. on "East Texas Live." The producer informed me that tomorrow afternoon there will be a link to the show at http://www.ketknbc.com/ so that those outside of the broadcasting range can tune in online. And I hope that you will! I think it will be a lot of fun. And now it's time to hit the road (less traveled) . . . I'll write again soon. Don't be a stranger, now. Y'all come!
