No I know you weren't, however if you hooked your mum up with Shane MacGowen that'd be pretty much be the coolest thing ever.

I'm also jealous that Justin Townes Earle is opening for them, I really enjoyed his 2008 album The Good Life

Ooh - I'm jealous! I'd love to go there.
Last year my son traveled across Texas with his band. He hated Texas for the most part but loved Austin. I do have a friend in Missouri that I went to visit who's not that far from Branson but she said that it's just a yucky tourist pit so we didn't go. There's a big music scene in Athens, Georgia, too. I like a band from there called Dead Confederate.
The only bright spot out here in the boondocks of western Mass is the Iron Horse Cafe.
Savannah's mom sounds OK to me - I still think Eddie Vedder's mad hot - I only wish I could get one of my kids to go to a show with me!

Sounds great - someday we should meet there for lunch and a show!

I don't know what it is about Texas and great songwriters but the list seems endless. I've been a huge Radney Foster fan seems like forever. TVZ and Clark, like mentioned. How about James McMurtry? Jerry Jeff Walker, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Billy Joe Shaver... there's soo many. There's tons of new artists too, and then the TX/Oklahoma red dirt music scene rocks on.

So much music, so little time.
