Yup, after nursing my van through 3,000 miles and reminding myself what a real autumn feels like, I managed to get it back to my driveway before the starter breathed its last. But you won't have to drive near as far to hear me this week.
Tuesday night, Oct. 3, I'm not playing anywhere, but I encourage you to drop by one of the local businesses that's supporting HAAM - the Healthcare Alliance for Austin Musicians. Thanks to those folks, myself and a lot of other self-employed musicians have been able to get regular healthcare for the first time in years. Below is a list of businesses who will be donating profits from Tuesday, Nov. 3 to HAAM, and musicians who'll be playing Tuesday night.
Peace through Music,
Steve
