Is This Interesting?
Thoughts/feelings that just might not matter:

Tonight is the night, my friends, and I’m looking forward to our Songwriter Tribute to Bruce Springsteen at the Cactus Café. The show starts at 8, and it’s free, but we’re asking for donations of cash, check [made out to “Capital Area Food Bank of Texas”], and/or healthy, non-perishable food for hungry folks in our area.

Performers tonight include JJ Baron, Ricky Stein, Jude Ross, Nathan Hamilton, Mike Shoenfeld, Matt the Electrician, Abi Tapia, Graham Weber, Scrappy Jud Newcomb, and Nakia. I’ll play host and perform a few Boss covers myself. We’ve got a big ol’ grab bag of Bruce tunes ready for you, so come on down and bring friends.

Tomorrow, I’ll join Matt the Electrician at Café Mundi, rain or shine. 8 pm. You know this!

Finally, I’m still pushing my fresh entry for the Public Radio Talent Quest. The more people listen to it, vote for it, and comment on it, the better chance I’ll have at moving up in the competition. If I make it far enough, I could end up putting together a pilot episode of my very own show. My 2-minute entry includes a new little song and talk of my four passions. You can check it out and vote at http://www.publicradioquest.com/node/767. Thanks!

Freshly-picked quotes from the ol’ reference collection:

When I started in music, I thought, “My job is pretty simple. I search for the human things in myself, and I turn them into notes and words, and then in some fashion, I help people hold on to their own humanity.”
Bruce Springsteen
