Sunday Morning Sidewalk 9/4/05

Since the relief efforts were so strongly underway here in the Brazos Valley for the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, I thought I'd do a Blues/New Orleans themed show. I was really happy to hear that so many people had given so much to the relief efforts here that the distribution centers were overflowing with supplies. This, I think, is part of what it means to be an American, you know. We help everyone, but when it comes to our own citizens, the throw our whole selves into it.

The first set of Sunday's show was dedicated to the memory of bluesman R.L. Burnside who died on Thursday morning. Fare thee well.

Thursday Toast & Jam Session 9/1/05

The recovery efforts all around the Brazos Valley started in earnest on Wednesday, just as soon as we knew what was going on. Of course, we had the goodtime guide for all interested. In a dark time such as this, it's always important to know that good times can still be had and that these goodtimes can make you forget all your troubles for a little while at least.

Tuesday Toast & Jam Session 8/30/05

This was kinda a scary day for me. I had called my folks the night before, and they told me that the eye of Hurricane Katrina would be over them around Midnight to 1am central time. They were telling me that they were getting strong winds and heavy rain off the front of the storm, but overall, they were safe.
