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

I’m still reeling from an excellent Songwriter Tribute to Bruce Springsteen last night at the Cactus Cafe. Thanks to everyone who came out, everyone who played, everyone who donated, and everyone who helped. We played about three hours of Boss tunes, and we raised over $400 (and a big box of non-perishable food) for the Capital Area Food Bank of Texas!

Thanks to the performers: JJ Baron, Ricky Stein, Jude Ross, Nathan Hamilton, Mike Schoenfeld, Matt the Electrician, Abi Tapia, Graham Weber, Scrappy Jud Newcomb, and Nakia. Look these folks up, and find out more about them, I insist. There were just no bad spots all night, and I had the most fun when I wasn’t on stage.

Thanks to Adrienne Longenecker, who came out to represent the Food Bank. Thanks to KUT 90.5 FM for promoting the show.

Double thanks to Abi for organizing and delivering the donations! Thanks to Maggie for helping out. Thanks to Griff, Jeff, and everyone at the Cactus Café for providing the perfect stage.

That’s about all I have the time and energy to type this morning. I look forward to trying it all again sometime. There are still many more Bruce songs to sing.

Freshly-picked quotes from the ol’ reference collection:

I believe the war on poverty is a more American idea than the war on the war on poverty. I believe that most people feel like that. And I believe that it ain’t over till it’s over.
Bruce Springsteen
