Here is a self-portrait from a few years ago

Beverly Walker photographed me watching
famed mystery writer Kinky Friedman
improperly light a cigar
by touching the flame to its tip
at the Broken Spoke on 01/31/2001.
Beverly also took this photograph
of me introducing J.T. Van Zandt
at the Blaze Foley Tribute
at Ruta Maya Coffee House on 01/31/2004.

Townes Van Zandt Documentary
Now Available On CD in US
I interviewed Townes Van Zandt in a professional studio for an oral biography of his life in 1992 and 93. Those sessions resulted in about six hours of tape specifically dealing with his life as a traveling songwriter. I have stories, in Townes' own voice, about how he wrote several of his songs. Townes revealed many insights into how he created as a songwriter. Some sections of that interview have been released as a CD Documentary first in Germany, and now in the US. The edition released in Europe on the Normal label called "Townes Van Zandt Documentary" is now available in the US. The CD features 10 songs and was edited by me into documentary form. I told Townes' life story chronologically and provided three short segments of narration.

Politics
Segway City: Fair And Balanced
My Opinion:
The Electoral College Should Be Abolished.
Popular Vote For President!
Best 2 Out Of 3.
After All, The World Series Goes 7 Games...
And That's Just Baseball.
The Fox News Channel is so unfair
and so unbalanced
that its official slogan is:
"Fair and Balanced."

The Big Shift
A while ago I started taking QuickCam pictures of some of my radio guests and loading them onto the page. I also put up a couple of large cartoon graphics that I co-created with Sam Hurt and Guy Juke. That made the page load verrrry slowly, so I have moved some of the graphic heavy sections to
Page 02.
Just a reminder that my programs are available in RealAudio
Texas License Plate: SEGWAY
I have driven Alfa Romeos for about 24 years. I had a green 74 GTV coupe for 11 years, a red Spider convertible for about a dozen years, and now I drive a black 85 Spider convertible. Austin is a great town for top down driving. In 96 I had my top down over 300 days, including several warm days during the coldest months. In one recent year there was only one day between March 16 and October 16 when I couldn't have my top down at all. For 7 months the top was down every day but one. In January and February I had the top down 34 days. My Alfa mechanic is Robert Johnson. Cruise over to his web page to see an Alfa Romeo logo.
