Back in Texas with a Vengeance

First off... I'm back.

Several successes to report.

1) My article about the Song School in Colorado was published in the LA Times.
read it
Song School & the Rocky Mountain air seriously kicked ass... stayed tuned for more on my new talented friends & my quest to write a song in 20 minutes twice each week.

2) It is no longer 100 degrees & doomsday hot by 10am every morning.

3) My new band is kicking Texass ass.
Enter Alissa Schram, the light cello, Rob Jewett, the dark cello
Josh Halpern, wonder kid drummer, & Carley Wolf, serious upright bassist & songstress

We opened for Bob Schneider at the Saxon last week; my mom flew in *for a surprise* from Philadelphia (serious mom points!)...

To commemorate the occasion, for the first time since I moved to Austin, my name was spelled correctly on a marquis. Two R's, One S, damn straight.

Every Wednesday in September, we'll be rocking it at Momo's, 11pm.
Kacy Crowley, Suzanna Choffel, Drew Smith before us. Can't beat that.
Come one, come all.
And thank you David Cotton.

I must admit, I am feeling a lotta love for Texas these days. If you have a favorite Texas song, send it my way.
