I'm back in Houston. Jimmy and I had a GREAT time in Austin and San Marcos, thanks to EVERYBODY who was so kind to us out there--especially Tara at Romeos! Now, we're gearing up for the Honky Tonk Golf Classic at Blancos on Saturday, which will be a whole lot of fun with the acoustic acts on the outdoor stage and the bands (John Evans, Larry Parcell's Honky Tonk Heroes, and more) on the inside of this urban cowboy style juke joint at the edge of Houston's elite River Oaks district. This down-home event will benefit a fellow musician who's critically ill, so we're doing all that we can to get the word out. There'll be golfing all day at Gus Wortham over here on my side of town--the east side of town--and the music will get started in the early evening. All of the details are posted on my Web site . . . On Monday evening, I'll be at the Big Top on Main Street at Alabama, filming for a t.v. show. This venue is different. I like it. It has the feel of a scene in a Quentin Tarantino movie and, located next to the Continental Club, attracts a hip roots-appreciative crowd and the best players Houston has to offer. I'm really looking forward to my first appearance at the Big Top. Good times, good times . . . And there's a new picture of me posted at http://www.americanamediapro.com/ --photographed by the lovely and talented Amy Morris at her new studio in the historic Houston Heights. Amy has been shooting all of my albums and headshots for almost four years now, and it's hard to imagine anyone else behind that camera. Thank you, Amy, for your BEAUTIFUL work! Y'all come!
