 Although the rain stopped an hour or so before the show started, the humidity in the air played havoc with our guitars' tuning and left our set list looking like wet tissue paper. Special thanks to David and Richard (down from Plano and Waco respectively). Josh played mando with us for the first set. He'll be back for the next Tribe of Clyde next Wednesday.

 First time I've had a chance to see the Sparrow's open mic. It's such a great stage! Shannon is a great owner, too. Carlos Rumbaut played cajón on "Hot Pepper Tamale."
 "It was a dark and stormy night" fit the scene perfectly for last night's gig at the Sparrow. Despite the heavy rain that lasted for most of the show, a few brave souls came to see the Trio. We were all exhausted on the trip back, and I had to drive the band van through a torrential thunderstorm on the way back to Austin.
 Tonight, the Trio was back in full-force at the little village of Walburg. It was our best performance with Kaye since her recovery. Simply put: We rocked the joint!
 KGTN Radio broadcasted the Trio LIVE from Uptown Social Club last night. Thankfully, we played our first set before the broadcast. It was definitely NOT our best set. Somehow, we shook off the early mistakes and came back with a solid second set (all originals) for the broadcast.
 Paul Teneyuque and I represented the Kaye Pasa Trio at HAAM this year. I believe this is the fifth year in a row I've participated in this city-wide fund-raiser for the Health Alliance for Austin Musicians: twice with John y Pablo, twice with the Kaye Pasa Trio, and this year as The Kaye Pasa Quorum. Kaye is too easily tired after her bout of pneumonia.
 After a nasty bout of pneumonia in August, Kaye Reznick (a.k.a. "The Kaye of The Kaye Pasa Trio") rejoined Paul and me onstage at Taylor Station Bar yesterday. It was an early show, but well-attended. It was great having Kaye back.
I performed with the Austin Uke Society Ensemble at the AUS open mic hosted at Kick Butt Coffee yesterday. I also performed as a solo and played "Walking Magnolia Tree," which seemed to surprise many folks who found it very different than my usual shtick. Several people stopped me afterward to tell me how much they enjoyed it. Of course, nobody enjoyed it more than Soose (Sue Carlson).
