Hey all - I'm always looking for new earth to scorch, and yet I must sadly confess that I haven't spent quality time in Texas for several years.  The last time through (2004) I was touring with the late and lovely Duane Jarvis, mostly as an excuse for him to drive his Toyota van from Nashville to Los Angeles (where he was moving back after the Tennessee leg of his career...).  We had a beautiful trip down Highway 61, with a stopover at a small club in Louisiana where we stayed in cute little cabins (the Magnolia?) - then crossed over to Austin, where we opened for the late and lovely Stephen Bruton at The Cactus.  Stephen told us about a club called Railroad Blues in Alpine, Texas - we called from the road and got a gig that very night, which afforded us a great meal along with a motel room.   Next night, Bisbee Arizona, again the club name escapes me but they served up a wickedly good plate of barbecue.

Anyway it's been too long -- I'm going to make things right next month, when I play a series of acoustic shows with the mindblowing guitar god Danny B. Harvey.  He's played with Wanda Jackson, he's played with Nancy Sinatra - now he's gonna play with me!  Please let your friends know!  And if you want to meet up for a tall one while I'm there, please get in touch, I won't be hard to find.  We'll hoist one for DJ, one for Stephen...and one for the road.
