Dear friends,
Hey! Last night's show at the Austin Songwriters Group went really
well! It was a real pleasure to meet Chip Dolan, Pauline Reese and
Monte Warden*. (Of course, Chip was my favorite.) Here's a link to
a photo:

So, despite not setting up gigs myself for December, I'm getting some
good phone calls! After Brent's call yesterday regarding the ASG, I
got a call from Sara of Saradora's, inviting me to come play at the
Round Rock Artisan's walk....but I had to turn it down.
Then today I get a call from Paul Q-Pek (not K-Pax) who invited me to
come be the "featured guest" for a gathering of his artists' community
on Monday night! I met Paul when we both played at the SIMS
Foundation benefit last week, and we both liked each others
stuff...wow he's got a great voice.
So, on to details:
Paul's community is part of a church called "Calvary Worship Center",
where he's the "music guy" (his words). The location is way north on
Burnet, almost to Round Rock. cf.

Starts at 7pm. Monday December 6. I'll be playing 3 songs or so, and
Paul will be interviewing me about songwriting, and playing, and
...probably something embarassing. :-)
No cover. And snackies are involved!
Enjoy the music,
Scott
*Brent Allen of ASG actually called back to make sure I wouldn't
"freak out" that I was sharing the stage with Monte (who wrote the
George Strait hit "Desperately" with Bruce Robison) and Pauline. But
my ignorance of honky-tonk tunes made me impervious to such a panic
attack. I honestly thought to myself, after we hung up, "Wait... Maybe
he meant Monte MONTGOMERY and PATTY GRIFFIN?? Wow..that could be
intimidating."
