Old Austin Concert

 

Some veteran musicians from these parts singing at C-Boy's yesterday. 

Thirteen years old and keeping great time

 We attended an Austin Youth Jazz Orchestra concert the other day

and this young lady was doing some serious drumming. 

Lou Ann Barton

 Lou Ann Barton took a turn at the microphone the other night as well. 

Ruthie Foster

 Ruthie Foster always gives a great performance.

She sang a couple of numbers at the History Center concert.

Blissing to the blues

 This pretty friend of ours used to be the anchorwoman for a local TV station's news show.

The other night, she was enjoying a concert with us. 

Lady Plays The Blues

 Sue Foley is a terrific blues guitar player. Here you see her in action at a concert

the other night for the Austin History Center Association. 

Lady Sings The Blues

 We went to a fundraiser for The Austin History Center Association last night.

Here you see popular singer Eve Monsees doing a blues number during the event. 

Marcia and Bobby Earl

 We went to a benefit for a local musician last weekend and saw some great performers. 

Here you see Marcia Ball and Bobby Earl Smith doing a rendition of Miller's Cave, an old country song.  

All that jazz

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

Sondheim at Parker

On a recent night, Austin Shakespeare held a Sondheim concert at Parker Jazz Club. Here you see the cast assembling for a final bow.

Paul Anka sings

What a great two hour concert by Paul Anka. We heard it at the Paramount not long ago. The man is 78 and he didn't miss a step.

ABBA MANIA!

We attended the ABBA MANIA show at the Paramount the other night. It was a treat of nice music and dancing. These women playing the Agnetha and Frida parts were very good. And their band was terrific.

Braving the cold to sing

These gents were crooning some country tunes at the Farmers Market on a recent Saturday.

Shall we gather at the river?

A lot of people were assembling for a marathon the other day. It made for quite a sight on the other side of the lake.

Big band concert!

Little Stevie Van Zandt and his band were rocking the house at the Paramount the other night.

A good time was had by all.

Here you see my partner in life and fellow blogger (right) with our former Mayor Will Wynn and his friend at the Ray Benson concert and birthday party. 

Ray Benson is rocking out

Here is another shot from the Ray Benson concert the other night. It was quite a scene for his big Birthday Party. Several guest musicians appeared with him.

Happy birthday, Ray!

Well-known recording artist Ray Benson gave a concert and was presented with a cake onstage for his birthday. We had good tickets for the event.

University of Texas Symphony concert

Loved this concert by the UT Symphony on a recent night. They played Bernstein's "Age of Anxiety" which was really moving. An apt choice for this time in our history.

Christmas Chorale and lots of carols

We enjoyed hearing this Christmas concert by U of Texas music students the other night.
