** The Chicks' fellow Texas musicians come together for a good cause **

I just got this note from Tom Geddie, executive director of A.R.T.S. for
People. A.R.T.S. (which stands for Artistic, Recreational, Therapeutic
Services), is a charitable organization here in Dallas that puts musicians
and music therapists, movement therapists, visual artists, and storytellers
in a hundred Dallas-Fort Worth area healthcare facilities and other
community agencies including schools and shelters every month..

It's not directly Dixie Chicks-related, but the project does include many
of the artists who carry on the sound (and grueling touring schedule) of
the Chicks' pre-fame days. Notable in the lineup is Sara Hickman, who
along with founding Dixie Chick guitarist and lead singer Robin Lynn Macy
(and Patty Lege) formed the group Domestic Science Club after Macy left the
Chicks.

If you're interested in the Chicks' Texas Music legacy, check out this CD
-- and help support a worthy cause in the process!

> Factoring in the legal requirements of getting permission from the

>ranges to the edge of country, rock, pop, gospel, and blues.
> Sara Hickman, Chris Davies, Rick Yost, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Lisa

>Perkins, The Ackermans, Annie Benjamin, and Billy Joe Shaver each
