Last night's event with Hal Ridley at NOKturne was more of a rehearsal for some future appearances. It came together very last-minute, with no time to promote it or prepare all the cool stuff we had in mind to accompany it, all toward the goal of making connections with Progressives in Greater Clear Lake.
I can attest that Hal is a genuine Texas picker-poet.
You posted something by Trey? Was he sober? Were you drunk?
His blog has had two posts in ten days (!). If he throws up something I'm liable to link to it. Ted is considered in the same fashion on the basis of his being so active. I may disagree personally with these guys but if they post something of value then I will get it in my Wrangle. Otherwise, what's left of this Alliance is dead.
Agreed with your comment back.
And, I usually scrounge off at least some of your links to augment what Kuff sends. I used Trey too.
