Austin, times

Well, the Austin show went off great, with Leatherbag and Tenlon's Fort. It was the first time I'd seen Tenlon's Fort as a full band, with piano, drums and a fiddle/dobro player. Jack has made the transition to fronting a band with ease. It was a beautiful spot, a mini-Red Rocks Jack called it. The stage was outside, with a natural amphitheater feel. Large white rock cliffs rising up behind the stage. The sound was great, the audience attentive and appreciative. My mom was there, old friend Natsuki came up from San Antonio, and Jill flew down from Portland. The weather was beautiful. All in all, a great night.
