Last weekend we played Dan's in Denton on Friday. Dan Mojica is one of a kind. I like him and his venue so very much. It's the little things that a concert promoter does that make our lives easier. For example, when we pulled up, Dan was there to greet us and move an orange cone out of the way to park so we could load in easier. There's just two of us, but we carry four guitars, a dobro, a mandolin, a papoose, two peddle boards, two backpacks, two clothes bags, and a merchandise bucket. So, when we have someone block us off parking so we don't have to make repeat hikes to the car, we appreciate it.
The next night, we played for Greg at the Blue Door who's a whole lot like Dan. Beloved in the musical community. Simply cherished. Rhett Butler opened. You have to see him live to appreciate his artistry. He's up there with the best. Look him up on You Tube. It will blow your mind. And here's the kicker, he's a real nice person.
We then ventured deep into the country for Faye and Scott at their Harmony House series in Bonham, Texas. I'm working up a surprise for these folks. I'll tell you at a later date exactly what it is. For now, you can read up on what we did here:

At the top of this blog I'm showing off my tomato plant, Dave (named after the gentleman working in the garden center at HEB, who said "If you name your 'mater plant and talk to it, it'll growwww!").
Well, it seems he was right, in spite of all the obstacles, this little plant's growing. Which is why, I was startled to discover a few days ago, that Dave has some serious funk on his leaves. So if you can advise some organic way to clean him up, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks for your help in advance. If Dave lives, the garden goes in this July.
Your friend in music, Terri Hendrix
