Cruise fall-out

So now everybody’s piling their Sandy Beaches photos on to Facebook and I think – Damn.  I did everything I could do and had all the fun I could stand and it still looks like those people might have had more fun than me.  Did they sleep?  Well, I’ll do better next year – I say every year.

Right now I’m going see a show of David Bates’s paintings at the Austin Museum of Art.  He’s so very cool.  If you look him up, you’ll see why I like him.  Just my type of stuff.  Then lunch and then...auditioning a drummer.  Yes, Corey Keller is leaving the band.  Another damn.  Please pardon my language but I hate to see him go.  And my mother is inconsolable.  But times and people have to move along and fortunately we have some very good prospects so we’ll keep on keeping on.

This weekend, we’re going to Port Arthur, Texas to play a gig in honor of Janis Joplin’s birthday and, by the way, I’ll be inducted into the Gulf Coast Music Hall of Fame.  Persistence pays off.  I’ll now be part of the world that I fell in love with when I was a kid listening to the bands in the Catholic Hall across the street from my house.  So happy.

In my last post I offered some cell phone advice (after losing mine in a cab).  I forgot to say:  always get the cab number.  It may not help you get your lost item back but it focuses your anger.

Off to look at art.
