Weekend

My apologies for the weakness of my last blog about Ann Richards. One of my biggest problems as a writer is trying to find the words to describe brilliance. I always felt the hardest type of review you could write is a rave.

About to catch Gillian Welch at the Scottish Rite in Omaha with Conor Oberst opening. Can't wait - been waiting to see Ms. Welch perform for quite some time.

Have a good weekend, folks - stay positive
