It just hit me. Considering my long-term affair w/ the man’s records and his place in Texas music history, this was a monumental event for me.
The band was fantastic: a lot of drone with solid rhythms, and Ralph White and Susan Alcorn winding their way between each other in a most magnificent way. The man himself was engaged and seemed to really enjoy himself. Except the monitors arriving three hours late and me having to do some re-wiring and tracing, things went smoothly. I think it sounded pretty good, if I do say so myself.
All involved were wonderful people who were a pleasure to work with. I hope to do it again some time.

I was a little concerned that sitting in the front row might not be a good idea, but was I ever wrong. The sound was GREAT!! I was right in his line of sight as he looked over his music stand and he repeatedly smiled and laughed throughout the evening. What a memory for a LOT of us. Thanks, again for a job well-done, Matthew.
