I sent Robin Hood a email on the TIPF reunion yesterday.
No reply as yet.
I haven't seen Daniel Elz in about 8 years now...last seen with a group in Longview...
he toured with Tommy Overstreet in the UK I heard way back yonder.
The guy deserved better, IMHO.
He just never got THAT break.
Of course, he never went to Nashville to pay his dues either.
Back in the day...IMHO...he was the best there was in this part of the country with that Fender guitar.
He immulated Eric Clapton to the tee bone.
Well,if your local...I'm sure your familiar with Don Andrews and Past Tence out of Athens.
Danny, we've prolly met up with each other back there. Your name rings a bell in that 'ole fog in headsville.
Well, if ya know these guys, give them a shout and see what they think?
All they can say is yes or no.
Man, I've been outta touch with the local music scene in Texas for the most part.
I'm near the Shreveport area right now on a little 'ole 6 acre tract.
I say little 'ole, big enough to keep me really busy in the summer just mowin' it.
What's up with Richard?? He said something about a sickness that's unexplainable?

I was usually winning the Battle of The Bands "Duel of The Drummers" :) . I still have at least one trophey. I talk to Robin Hood Brians and Ovid Stevens often. Ovis and the other members of Crackerjack are reforming minus Stevie Ray Vaughn. In the studio even as I type.
Big Paul is the owner of Dragons Breath Head Shop in Tyler, Nacogdoches, and Bedford. . They have several websights.
Paul is at The Tyler shop usually.
I know Danny Elzner, Might know the others if you have 100 year old photoe lololol. Kidding
I ran with Bob Gentry, Brady Mosher, Hank Gatewood, the late Rickey Ghears, Tony Mattasolio and Randy Fouts RIP, Randy was Robin Hood Brians late pardner. At one time I was Randy's drummer in fact the only ones I didn't play with was Tony and Hank since they were both drummers! Tony Mattasonio was my best friend in school, Johnny Nitzinger is one of my dearest friends still today.

I thought Richard was going to be working on this for some time now.......A big undertaking to say the least. If it happens that would be great if not then just getting togeather and sharing memories would be neat also. Ode to the Trip Tent!!!

OK,
A 40th anniversary pop festival gig???....let's get 'er done!
What's it gonna take to make this happen?
Well, for starters.... we got to spread da word!
Get some interest started.
I say we COULD get the gang in Austin on it for starters.
The 'ole Armadilla HQ crew...Oat Willies, Willie Nelson, contact some of the 'ole crew that's still livin', CCR wasn't there but, the revisited crew I'll guarantee you would do it. That's a start, we need a committee, Richard? You gotta be in on this for it to work.
We got 90 days before Labor Day week-end...not sayin' it has to occur on that specific day....personally, when it's cooler it would be cool 'er ;0). YaknowwhatImean? We need a place, preferably private property in the sticks some where with the coveted LAKE....ohhhh lala.
We need sponsors...like head shops, the Hippie Museum guys, Rainbow guys, Austin eaterys, poster shops, tee shirt shops, radio stations, whatever...whoever. ...we ain't proud..are we? It's a doable thing with a collective effort. Who's in?
Peace...
