Thanks to those of you came by the Deli last Friday. We finally had a killer night, with about 50 listeners, and your enthusiasm spilled over into the show. It was simply our best performance yet. Dave Dunn doubled on the washtub bass, Jim Stanley blazed through guitar leads on songs he'd never heard, and we closed the night with a singalong on my amphibious gospel song, "The Great Green Frog." Several more Fridays like that, and I can quit looking over my shoulder. Thanks, too, to those of you who told me that getting a Friday morning reminder was helpful. I'll keep sending them, but out of respect for your Inboxes, I'll keep 'em brief.
For folks who have yet to check out HPF, this Friday provides another great opportunity, when my guest will be George Ensle. If Wikipedia has an entry for "singer-songwriter," it ought to have a picture of George. There's nothing flashy about what he does, but his aw-shucks manner disguises a craftsmanship that never puts a word or a note out of place. Flawless fingerpicking, a warm voice and painterly story songs about family and Texas eccentrics - he's the whole package. He's been performing since the 'Sixties, and just released his sixth album, "Build a Bridge," on the Houston label Berkalin Records. Check him out at www.georgeensle.com.
