Only two acts with the *’s for having seen them live. The last time I saw the first one was at ACL and the next time I see the last one will be at ACL. And, I don’t know half of the others half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of them half as well as they deserve.

You are making me miss Austin more and more… one day I will be back. I remember seeing Townes at Cactus Cafe and I so miss ACL … and Antones and a zillion other places… Now I am homesick
stuck in Mobile with the Austin Blues? 🙂
It’s a tough town to leave. Hope those Austin blues get easier to live with.
