For lots of photos, click here The daytime events of WoodyFest are held on four stages — 3 indoors (Brick House, the Crystal Theater, and the Hen House) and 1 beneath a tent, this year sponsored by the Golden Pony Casino — and at ‘outreach’ locations, where musicians take the music to people who […]
Short story and all photos by Mary Jane Farmer. Click on the link below to view photos. Woody Fest for 2017 is now history — a history of good times, good friends (old and new), and really really good music. The festival increased in size to include four daytime stages in place of the […]
From May and June, and I remember saying last time that I wasn’t behind on Alice Cooper pix. Well, now I am/was behind. But this does bring me up to date with my Grand Theater Choctaw photos. Enjoy. And, if you are wondering why so many more of Alice Cooper — there’s two reasons: (1) […]
OK, it’s called “Scene In Town” here, and so these two sets of fireworks were the Scene in this little Town Monday and Tuesday night, July 3 and 4. Yeah, I’m showing off. Took me years to be able to get halfway decent fireworks pix. Enjoy, feel free to upload any that you want to […]
For photos by Mary Jane Farmer and Mark Bickham, click here: Dustin Perkins, who has been doing a lot more writin’ and pickin’ in his living room than in bars and festivals during the past 4-ish years changed that streak Thursday night (June 29, 2017) when he played to a nearly-packed house at Hank’s Texas […]
9 Stevie Ray Vaughan at Celebrate Austin Music
Because you asked… The Celebrate Austin Music Festival at Zilker Park, circa April 15, 1984, was filled with Austin-based touring acts with generous sprinklings of up-and-comers. A lot of that information is in Rod Kennedy’s book, Music of the Heart, written many years before his 4-14-14 death. It had been a long three-day event, and […]
This was first in Buddy Magazine, August 2016 issue. People ask me a lot — why am I in the music business? OK, I’ll share the secret – it was a guy who got me into all this. While teaching school in El Paso, I met another teacher, a musician, out there and that chance meeting and […]
(I’m sorry, but we got absolutely NO photos of these people.) Ake Pecha — I was told this means “Start fresh, my friend.” It was probably around 1982 when Kerrville Festival Producer Rod Kennedy took a trip to the southeast, where he met a group of travelers from the Scandinavian countries. This was the “International School […]
Three things to think about before quitting.
This took a lot of prayer and thanksgiving for me to write and publish. This was one changing quote in my life… From the movie “Mozart,” this statement by composer Salleri: “Why?… implant the desire (for music)… like a lust in my body? And then deny me the talent?” Early on, I could not figure out myself […]
I (this is Mary Jane here) think I will do a daily blog similar to what I could do at Larry Joe Taylor Fest. Blog being ‘I’m included’ compared with Website being ‘It’s all about the other person.’ The staff orientation is tonight (Wednesday, May 20), but it isn’t by any chance the beginning of happenings […]
