Hey all,

I wanted to let you all know about a show I put together for
Tom Noe, Linda Silas and Paul Porter's Acoustic Concert
Tours house concert series in Wylie, TX, which includes 3
very dear friends of mine... here's the details:

Date: March 19, 2005
Time: 8 PM
Where: Hwy 78 outside of Wylie, TX (call 972-442-5232 for
directions and information)
Who: Bill Nash, Todd Hoke, Karen Mal and Jeff Talmadge
Format: In the round (semi-circle of the 4 of us sharing
our songs!)
Donation: $12 at the door

Here's what Linda put on their website about this show:

-------------------------------------

"Our ubiquitous and talented Bill Nash brings together a group of outstanding
Texas songwriters for our enjoyment. In addition to Bill's beautiful music,
you'll also get:

Todd Hoke roams through life with his eyes and ears wide open, every day
gathering in images, colors, and sounds. The descriptive and emotional breadth
of his songwriting is evidence of this receptiveness. "I remember the night I
became a songwriter. I’d gotten together with some friends to pick guitars and
swap lies, and we were playing songs we all knew. I slipped one of mine in
unannounced and when I finished someone said, 'Great song. Is it Guy Clark's?' I
just sat there blinking. That was it."

In three short years, Karen Mal has gone from a virtual unknown on the Austin
acoustic music scene to one of the most sought-after performers around, both as
a solo artist and as a sideman for others on mandolin, guitar, and harmony
vocals. Originally from New England, more recently from Wisconsin, Karen worked
in regional theatre for several years as an actor and musical director/composer
before settling in Austin to play music full-time.

Jeff Talmadge grew up in small towns scattered across Texas--ones like Crystal
City, Boling, New Gulf, Iago and Big Spring. The ghosts and memories of these
places appear often in his songs-distant trains in the night, unread letters
lying in weathered mailboxes, and memories of the things we love-and
leave-blowing across the vast Texas plains."

I have to admit to you I had to look up "ubiquitous", but
after checking out the dictionary, I suppose the word fits
me pretty well! :) Just what I needed, another label...
These 3 are some of my favorite songwriters, and I'm proud
they would fit this into their busy schedules!!

This is one of the premier house concert series in the
nation (more than 150 shows presented in the past 12 or
14 years [I personally have been to more than 100 shows
here as a customer!]). Also, stick around after the show
for a great picking circle, to play with us or to listen
to more music... it should be a great one! I hope to see
you all out there... drop me a line if there is any
confusion about this!
