What a line up!

.
With my new runnin' buddy ready to have fun I've been paying more attention to music opportunities. And boy is the array great! Here's what's on my calendar. Hope to see you there!

Every Monday evening there's
Bummer Night with Sarah Elizabeth Campbell at Artz Rib House

•••A favorite Sarah Elizabeth lyric:

You're paying for the sins of those who came before you,
I must admit it's totally unfair...

Richard, Cathy and I went to see Toni Price at "Hippie Hour" at the Continental Club last night. It's a Tuesday night tradition we will be celebrating often I bet. She ROCKED!

•••A favorite Toni Price lyric:

If teardrops were diamonds
from the African mines
If heartaches were silver
my whole life would shine.

I'd be the richest one
I'd be the richest one
In the world.

Thursday, October 29th -
David Wilcox at the Cactus Cafe
--For Dallas folks-on Friday, October 30th David will be at Uncle Calvin's

•••A favorite David Wilcox lyric:

Do I dare believe and let love lead my life
Could I not believe and leave that love behind?
Do I dare believe and let love lead my life
Could I not believe and leave that love behind?

Sunday, November 1st -
Tommy Elskes Matinee at Gruene Hall
This guy should not be missed. I am so excited. He doesn't come to the area often.

•••As Tommy would say:

Why don't you try me?
Why don't you try me tonight?

Wednesday, November 4th -
Shake Russell and Michael Hearne at the Cactus
Yeah! Shake. Plus Michael Harne for added delight.

•••A favorite Shake Russell lyric:

My Acadian Angel
come and dance with me tonight.
Put wings on my heart
fly away in the moonlight.

Oh how I love to
sail away on a zydeco tune.
I'm in heaven when I hold you
my Acadian Angel.

It's the first song Richard and I danced to. I loved it before-I doubly love it now.

Friday, November 20th -
Ruthie Foster at Antone's
Just click on Ruthie's link above to hear her great music. Can't figure out which of her great songs to quote. I just got her new CD-it's already a favorite!

Saturday, November 21st-
Guy Clark at the Cactus
--He's also there Friday night but I'll be at Antone's seeing Ruthie.

•••A favorite Guy Clark lyric:

Well, he was wino, tried and true.
Done about everything there is to do.
He worked on freighters, an' he'd worked in bars.
He worked on farms, an' he'd worked on cars.
It was white port that put that look in his eye,
Grown men get when they need to cry.
We sat down on the curb to rest,
And his head just fell down on his chest.

This is only the first verse. Follow this link to read it all. It is the most powerful story of unrequited love I've ever experienced.

And, much to my amazement-we'll see you at Gruene Hall on New Year's Eve for Delbert McClinton!
Me, out on New Year's? What have they done with my friend, Michele "It's highly unlikely" Pain?
