Whats the deal with Jimmy playing at Don Henley's place near Caddo Lake. He's got a little place up there. Anyone know how to get tickets?

There was an article about this in the Dallas Morning News a while back, but I didn't keep a copy. Here's a current article from a reliable publication. The performance looks like a real possibility but nothing has been confirmed;

The Music City Texas Theater in Linden, TX is quickly gaining notoriety since the June 22 "sold out" appearance of Jackson Browne. It is official now that Don Henley and his band will perform at the theater on September 14th and 15th. The 450 seat theater with its "living room like atmosphere" plans to host many other top acts in the future. In fact, Jimmy Buffett has verbally committed to do a show this fall, although an exact date has not yet been confirmed.

Here's the article from the Dallas Morning News archives;

By ALAN PEPPARD / The Dallas Morning News

Richard Bowden, city councilman in the East Texas hamlet of Linden, is candid about how he booked Jackson Browne to perform at the Linden Music City Theater.

"I threatened to publish my memoirs," says Richard.

A former lead guitarist for Linda Ronstadt and Dan Fogelberg , Richard is also a one-time bandmate of his boyhood neighbor, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member Don Henley. In the early '70s, when Jackson used to tour with Ms. Ronstadt, Richard and his band would lend a hand. "We'd back him up on some of the rockers," he says.

On Monday, Jackson will be inducted into the Hall of Fame at a ceremony at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York. And this summer (date not yet confirmed), he plans to play Music City, a former American Legion hall. "We can hold 400 people," says Richard. "We're trying to get more chairs."

Through his strong ties with Mr. Henley, he has got another big name for later in 2004. "We got a commitment from Jimmy Buffett." And Richard is unfazed that his acts have played arenas bigger than his town.

"We've got 2,256 people," he says proudly. "I think that's what it says on the sign."

Here's a review of Don Henley's show at the venue in Linden;

http://www.dallasnews.com/s/dws/fea/ent ... 2fc0a.html

"Mr. Henley said he hoped to lure Jimmy Buffett, Emmylou Harris and Bonnie Raitt to the same small stage where he and Jackson Browne have already performed. And if he and Mr. Bowden are successful, is there any concert venue in Dallas – or anywhere in the country, for that matter – that can claim the same?"
