Texas Red River Songwriters’ Festival
29, Jan 2013Greetings from my couch (yep, it’s still here and still comfortable). We had a whirlwind trip to Red River, NM for the 2nd Annual Texas Red River Songwriters’ Festival. This was momentous because “2nd annual” means the first one worked well enough to do it again. Last year we had a small but mighty crowd [...]
Being a Tourist
12, Aug 2012As gorgeous as our drives are…and as cool as the places are we visit to play music, we often see a town at dusk, play a show, stay overnight, and leave in the morning. This leaves hardly any time to really get to know a place. I’ve been to Taos several times over the past [...]
New Mexicania
7, Aug 2012Pretty thrilled to be in my home state of New Mexico for almost a whole week. We have spent three days in Albuquerque and head to Taos and Red River this week. The weather is sublime considering there is no humidity and it’s under 100 degrees. I am having to drink water like a camel, [...]
Red River Songwriter Winterfest
5, Mar 2012This weekend we were in beautiful Red River, NM for the first annual Red River Songwriter Winterfest. First annual festivals, as Susan has told me, are always a crapshoot. They’re expensive to put on and if they haven’t happened before, there’s no telling how many people will come. Luckily, this one turned out to be [...]
Kill The Messenger
24, Jan 2012I have listened to this song 14 times this evening. “Kill the Messenger” by Shawn Colvin. It’s old. I discovered it when I was 17 or something like that and it was old then, so it’s um…really old now. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not one to decry an artist’s more current body of work…Shawn’s [...]

Big Barn Dance Weekend Part Deux!
14, Sep 2011I love this picture. It was time to rock the festival and Susan wore her new hat and Don Richmond joined her onstage. It was an amazing set, so good that I didn’t even notice on the big sign over the stage that it said “Big Bardance.” There was no bar to dance on, but [...]
Big Barn Dance Weekend
13, Sep 2011Well that was fun. We went to Taos, New Mexico this weekend for Michael Hearne’s Big Barn Dance, held at the Old Blinking Light…one of my favorite places in that town. I wasn’t expecting it but it was like old home week because a lot of Texan musicians come for the festival, and even some [...]
The Intern
16, Mar 2011First, IN MY DEFENSE…this photo makes me look like I was an intern in 1986, if you look at that computer. In all reality, everything in our PBS station was from 1986, even though it was 2005. I am not that old. That was a crochety computer even then. Anyway…the other day we were at [...]
Is This Thing On?
10, Feb 2011Oh hi. Blog. That thing I love to do. It’s been crazy! The weather alone calls for its own blog post…turns out that last week my zip code and very apartment were where the infamous “rolling blackouts of 2011″ hit hardest here in Texas. At least that’s what my center of the universe complex tells [...]
