Liz Morphis, Vocalist Extraordinaire

 

Here you see our friend Liz singing at Parker Jazz Club not long ago. 

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.

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.  

Music brings joy.

We support a group here in town called Swan Songs. At their gala the other night, they showed photos of musical groups/acts/singers entertaining people who are in the final stages of their lives. Here you see a barbershop quartet doing just that.

A song from yesteryear

I thought I would put up a photo from a bygone era. The woman at bottom left here is a good friend of ours -- she is a professional singer with a degree in music and she used to travel around Central Texas performing. This photo is from Renaissance Faire, an event that still happens just outside of town.

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.

Carrie Rodriguez sings and plays

Local entertainer Carrie Rodriguez did a concert at the Long Center's Rollins Theater the other night. On the right, playing guitar, is her husband. The bass player is a stellar musician who was in Leonard Cohen's backup band for many years.

Hillside Singers

"We are not alone" was our refrain. We were singing on Doug Sahm Hill for a video Sara Hickman is putting together.
