Celebrating Austin’s Home Of The Blues

One of my favorite live music venues, not only in Austin, but quite possibly anywhere in the world, Antone’s, is celebrating its 37th Anniversary throughout the month of July here in 2012. Proudly known as Austin’s “Home of the Blues,” legendary local promoter, Clifford Antone, first opened the doors of his prized property, then located […]

Unforgettable Saturday At “Willie’s Place”

Located adjacent to ACL […]

30 Years of Greatness…And Still Rockin!

In our current society, progress and technology have, without a doubt, taken over many experiences in our lives enjoyed in years past, when we existed in a simpler time and place. However, one staple in my world that will remain, as long as this world will let it, is the beauty and thrill of visiting […]
