And, guess what? "Here for the Good Times" is nominated for a Grammy. Go figure.

Steve Earle got a nod. That's a good thing.

Thanks for the link, TT. Can't wait to hear what you think of it.

Have a GREAT time.

Ours are hysterical. I'll find some of the funnier ones and post them!

I knew ya'll would come up with some funnies. WTG. I needed a laugh!

I'm about to interview Darrell Scott. Can't wait to talk to him about TEXAS COOKIN' ... and about time on the road with Robert Plant ... his new 2-disc CD, CROOKED ROAD, is really first rate. He's going to be at Poor David's Pub in Dallas on Friday (I think. The site is down.) Such talent.

So glad I got to meet ya ... thanks for hanging out with us. Happy you're safe home.

Stay in touch.

Your pal,
ETP.

E: Got the second in Stevens' series. It was a letdown for me. Hard to believe the same person wrote both books.

Here are some photos from the other night. Interview with Guy, Tamara Saviano (producer) and Verlon to follow, along with my thoughts on the show and a review of the CD at the end of the month. http://www.myssnews.com/mysslife/reviews/music-reviews/16618-a-historic-night-in-texas-music-musicians-fan...

I took 514 photos. Used 13 of them on a page in today's edition ... will post some after deadline.

I don't think my feet have touched the ground since 7:15 Wednesday evening.

Am home. Tired, but so glad I drove to Austin for this. I've seen a lot of shows in my almost 60 years, but I've never had an evening of pure magic like last night. Every performer was on top of his/her game. It was historic. The moment JT walked onto the stage, my eyes started to leak. He thanked G...

Trying to wrap things up here at my desk so I can be free to fly .... am headed to Austin in the morning ... meeting up with DAB and conched for the Guy Clark Tribute show tomorrow night at the Long Center. Am listening to James McMurtry's cover of COLD DOG SOUP for about the 100th time. It takes my...

I have always been a huge admirer of Tom Landry. And Roger Staubach. I have always disliked the team ... comes with the territory of growing up as a Redskins fan in the George Allen days, but Tom Landry and Roger Staubach ... class acts all the way. When I went to the opening of the Winspear Opera ...

22 24 "AMERICA'S TEAM" MY ASS ... MORE LIKE JERRY JONES' FOLLY :lol: :lol: True story. My mom, my sister and I shared an elevator with Alicia Landry. My sister's in a wheelchair. As I was rolling her through the elevator door, my mother said, "My daughter was a big fan of your husban...

TT: Thanks for the clip. I like her. 8) I hadn't read the entire press release when I posted that about Jeff Allen. It gets worse. After comparing himself to Willie and Townes (two of the best Texas has ever produced), he says, "I didn't come to Nashville to be a Texas artist." Seriously? ...

(ducking)

"Nope" on 1 down being the COWBOYS.

"Nope" on the COWBOTS being America's Team.

I so agree. But, could the Cowboys be 24 across?

Jeff Allen - EP - young country singer from Canton, Tx. http://www.roughstock.com/v2/images/Jeff-Allen-2011-300-01.jpg They're promoting him like this: Somewhere down a gravel road where Elvis intersects with Willie and rock'n'roll swagger meets country music candor, Jeff Allen has staked a solid cl...

That's my girl.

NO MORE THAN 1 or 2 ANSWERS PER POST,
SO THAT WE LET A FEW OTHERS PLAY.

THANKS!

I'm so sorry ... I didn't read the first line of your post. Color me stoopid.
