For an old guy who doesn't get out of the house much, today and tomorrow I need to go pick up my "lost" camera at Crews Control, buy pecan mulch and dirt at Marshall Grain Company (and unload it all at home), go see Big Wampum at the Harley place in Fort Worth, go to a western swing jam tonight in Cool, then spend Saturday (with Joyce and Gary) in Mineral Wells at SWINGFEST while not forgetting to visit CHUMP CHANGE at Jake's on Camp Bowie---and really I ought to stop in late tonight at the The Keys to see Rusty and Davy one more time.

I swear, I am too old for all of this. And it's a lot of riding for Mimi! But Crystal, of course, is glad to get me out of the house, ha!

Texas DJ Ted Branson invited Floyd Domino, Maryann Price and myself onto the Austin air for an hour this morning, to yak about DOUBLE SHOT and GRO. We had a great, relaxed time on his fine show that is called called UNDER THE X IN TEXAS. Happily, I was out on my back porch with my darling Mimi, smoking a big cigar and drinking home-made expresso (Bustelo).

Floyd and Maryann are both really busy, so it was extra nice for them to take the time to get up and get down to the station this morning. This promoting stuff can be heavy lifting when it's done right.

It's funny how quickly an hour goes by. I was talking as fast as I can during my segment, and yet I still forgot to mention so many names and "titles" and contributors to the project: SORRY. I can now sympathize, sorta, with winners at  the various awards ceremonies who typically have the impossible task cranking out much-too-quick "thank-you's" to all those who contributed to their winning projects.

Well, off to the Dog Bark for some Texas heat. Summer's coming.
