A sad time here in Austin. Clifford Antone was found dead this past Tuesday afternoon by APD. Mr. Antone is world famous for his support of Blues musician and their music. He played a key roll in launching the careers of many Blues artists including Austin’s own Stevie Ray Vaughn.  Personally I didn’t have the pleasure of meeting Mr. Antone. But we shared on thing. We are both from the same SE Texas town as Janis Joplin, Port Arthur. Read more about Clifford Antone’s life http://www.austin360.com/music/content/music/stories/xl/2006/05/25music.html  continue...

It’s that time of year. Time to start thinking about the ACL Festival that hits Austin in September. We have attended each year for the good, the bad and the experience. We’ve had great time at the festival. The first two years were my favorites because it was relatively unknown and not yet over crowded. And we’ve had a few bad times. Last year was one of the worst just because of the dry heat and the dust bowl created from everyone walking around. continue...

Well Sondra and I and her friend Paula made it through the 3-day ACL Festival. I took off Monday (Vacation day) to recover. We all have varied comments about the crowds, heat and schedule conflicts. But the one common thing that really annoys the three of us was that it seemed everyone was just standing around either talking on their cell phone or talking to each other in groups. Now these were mostly college age persons. continue...

Well today is Friday…No really. Oh, I know it really is Thursday. But it’s my Friday. Sondra and I will be spending the next 3 days at Zilker park here in Austin attending the 3rd annual Austin City Limit music festival. It keeps getting better and better every year. Though the heat will be upon us, predictions in the 95-99 degree range, we will have plenty of water, beer and music to keep us company.
