The Hot Club of Cowtown are doing Happy Hour at the Continental 
on wednesday
at 6:30PM. I saw them last night and they were amazing. lots of 
new tunes and
tight as a tick.

I saw them a week ago, not knowing anything about them other 
than the bit of buzz
they've gotten here, and was very impressed.  Okay, I've had a 
fondness for Bob 
Wills-type stuff for years so I had a feeling I'd like them, but I was 
also skeptical
about a three-piece carrying off the material.  For the most part, I 
didn't miss all
those extra musicians a bit-- well, there was a couple times I 
thought a little steel
would be nice-- but if the show had been in a less-formal venue I'd 
have chomped 
a cigar and let loose with many an "Aahhh."  
My only regret
was that I hadn't dragged a dozen people with me to the show; 
they deserved to
play in front of more than the 60 folks who showed up.

Stacey, although I don't have my notes with me now, I can add a
couple of things to the off-events page:

--Friday afternoon there's a do at the Broken Spoke that has about 5
performers:  the 3 I remember are Lonesome Bob, Robbie and Kinky Friedman.
Can't recall the sponsor either...

--Friday night at the Carousel will be Git Gone (w. Jim Stringer) and the
one and only Charlie Burton and the Texas Twelve Steppers.

--Saturday morning, 11:00 am,  there's a Bulldog Records breakfast at the
Hernandez Cafe (great!) on East 6th, with Charlie Burton (don't know who
else).

Indeed, there is no shortage at all of great off-festival music.
