Hey ya'll...

2012...where did the year go. I'm already booking next year and have the rest of the year pretty much mapped out with a total summer of gigs mostly in Texas 3-5 nights a week, a new double album called "Smoke And Mirrors" complete that will be all packaged up and ready for an October 1st world-wide release just in time for 30-ish concerts in England and Scotland which begin November 1st thru mid December...then Christmas and New Years and shazaaaam...its 2013. I'm in the middle of a great year that just keeps on spiraling upward. Lots of wonderful people in my life, enough money to pay my way and get a few odds and ends I've put off getting. Our 2012 Be-Bob-Alooza is all but organised and ready to go with Kevin Welch, Walt Wilkins and his Mystiqueros and The Trishas on board as headliners along with a raft of other wonderful singer/songwriters supporting this Austin singer/songwriters driven event for the second year. The songs keep coming out of my creative well, the sun comes up every morning and the heat of another Texas summer is upon us. I'm alive and well and moving forward. I hope to see you all along the road.

Texas Music Awards 2011 Singer/Songwiter of the Year

September, 2011

Of all the accolades I've been fortunate enough to receive in my career, the TMA Singer/songwriter Of The Year award means the most to me. I've spent nearly half a century being a singer/songwriter. Its what I do a a huge part of who I am. My gratitude to Jinelle and Lucky Boyde of the Academy Of Texas Music and all the others involved in the judging process for this award. Its a landmark in my career and for me as a creative person. Thank you all.
