Good Times in Austin

Austin, Texas, is a special place. It has great music, food, and atmosphere. But I have friends here who make it even more special -- the family of one of my best friends in life, Stewart, who passed away almost five years ago. Nancy, Stew's wife, and Cam, his son, welcomed me into their home. I spent two nights in GoJoe parked in their driveway.

Although it was unusually cool and a bit rainy, we had a great time catching up and eating some super food. We took a trip to the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center and I was able to pick guitar and trade songs with neighbor Frank, whom I had met on a previous visit to Austin. Seems everybody in town is a musician.

Although the time was all too brief, it was good to reconnect with these friends.



On the way into Austin, I couldn't resist taking a picture of this 1950s era Nash Metropolitan. My grandmother had one of these tiny cars!
