I'm not sure which was more exhilarating last week, the opening for Sir Elton at the 4 star Austin Hilton ballroom or the opening for Radney at the funky Cheatham Street Warehouse. I finished the weekend playing for Dillard's VIP's who offered me a Christmas shopping spree at the Dillard's of my choosing in return for an acoustic performance! "What a Christmas It Was" is at Americana, Texas and International radio this week. Call 'em. Email 'em. This week I'll go from the Texas Hill Country to Witchita Falls to the capital of South Texas, San Antonio. By the way daughter Aubrie will have her baby this week and Yvonna's dad is making progress after his stroke. You might enjoy reading this incredible review by San Francisco writer j. poet:
