All that jazz

Always fun to hear our friends play at Parker Jazz Club. That's the owner of the club on tenor sax.

Fun times!

The B-52s were the featured band at the Paramount Gala the other night. Here you see your site hosts with two pals.

Singing the praises

This gospel band had the crowd up and rocking the other day at the Austin Birthday Party.

Big and brassy

The Austin Jazz Band played at the Elephant Room the other night. How they all got on the stage is beyond me.

Our gal Liz is crooning again.

It's been a while since I ran a shot of Liz Morphis and the Violet Crown Revue. Here they are at The Elephant Room on a recent night. Love those tennies, Liz!

Bands galore

I love to see all these signs around town on lampposts. Can't say that I have ever heard of any of these bands, but I'll bet some younger people will enjoy the concert.

Ann Richards School Band

All girls! Even the tubas! Yes!

Veteran's Day Band

This is the Del Valle High Band in the local Vet's Day parade. This big guy is some type of marshal, I suppose.

Band fan

This youngster was enjoying an all-female band at the Farmer's Market a few weeks ago. 

If music be the sound of love . . .

We went to a Valentine's Day party at the home owned by two of our good friends and this band was playing. The three musicians you can see here are all Austin all-stars, which is saying a lot in this town.

Ain't gonna study war no more

This band at a recent Farmers' Market was belting out an old protest song. They were good players.

Go: Organic Orchestra

This is about the most eclectic orchestra you can imagine. It sounded wonderful in the atrium of the Blanton Museum.

The Grant Clan Band

This band called the Grant Clan played at a party for two wonderful people who were having their 70th anniversary party on a recent Sunday. All of the guys in the band were nephews of the couple!

Yehudi Goes to Texas!

Ruby Jane Smith and her band showed a different side of the fiddle during this free event during the Menuhin Violin competition earlier this month. This was on the ever versatile Long Center porch.

I love a parade

These band members were very well-disciplined and their playing was excellent.  They must have a good director.
