 Doug Sahm. Didn't know he played that instrument, but Doug fit in with that
 bunch of musical lunatics just fine.

Not only was doug a child radio star at 6, but guess why? He played the
steel guitar.

I forgot what number we're up to, but it was 75 degrees and sunny today (is
it still January?) and I met a couple of P2 folks for Don Walser at the
Central Market after work. We had dinner, while Don and the Pure Texas Band
played on the patio of a supermarket(!) in front of what seemed like 100's
of dancing little kids (and I mean little). They played all kinds of
requests and even sang Happy Birthday to Erica. When I went up to the swag
table to buy a bumpersticker, Don's wife says,"no you don't have to buy
one. They're free." It looks great on my brand new truck, too.

... and I got a personalized autographed 8X10, also free. Don Walser should be
declared a national treasure.

Cool story from John on the Derailers recordings.

While we're on the subject of the Derailers, I noticed that Columbia
House's Web site has a special promotion on "The Best Records You've Never
Heard," culled from the '50s through the '90s.  _Reverb Deluxe_ is listed
as one of these. It's amazing how far Dina's influence reaches, really.

John, 
I had a question about the new Kelly Willis album.  Does Tx Music
Express already have it or do you have a promo copy or something. 
And if TX Express has it, can I order it now or do I have to wait till the
end of February?  
Thanks,
Cory
