Re: Texas Ectos

Hi,

I was an Ecto subscriber years ago, and then was off the list for several 
years (got really busy with other things), but now I'm back.

I'm in Fort Worth, have been a Happy fan for a long time (even traveled to 
Philly once just to see her in concert). I've been dying to see her play down 
here.

I have a suggestion: The Jefferson Freedom Cafe in Fort Worth. It's similar 
to Uncle Calvin's ... but they do shows only once a month. It always has really 
good crowds for whatever show it has because of its faithful audience 
(100-250 people per show). It's in a Unitarian Church. The Cafe is run completely by 
volunteers, so they always pay the artist and the musicians, and then all the 
other proceeds go to charities. This past Saturday night was Christine Lavin.

I know the guy who runs it if anyone wants me to give a contact ....

Cheers,
Mark Lowry

Rita was wondering about Happy coming to Texas.

I live in Denton and would love to have her do a house concert here, but we 
couldn't squeeze too many people into my duplex (and the preparatory 
cleaning would be a six-month task).  I have suggested to Happy and posse 
that Dan's Bar, here, would be the equivalent of a living room concert.  I 
can't imagine Dan not wanting to host her.  I also suggested Uncle Calvin's 
in Dallas, but that sort of thing couldn't be done at the drop of a hat.  
Uncle Calvin's has high-octane people coming and going on a regular basis 
and they thus probably have a schedule set in stone for six months to a 
year.

If anyone in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area wants to do a house concert, I would 
be happy to help.  Ms. Rhodes was frequently played on KERA (Dallas) in the 
90's so she is not an unknown commodity here.

Yes, there are Texas ecotpians.  I thing Gshell is a Texan, too.  And there 
are several Texans out there who have abandoned the homeland for lesser 
states north of the Red River border.

Bye,
Lyle
