Tomorrow I will be able to see Marsha Ball for the first time.Marsha Ball plays in the New Orleans style of Professor Longhair.
I had seen her on Austin City Limits 25 years ago. But she
has been playing the area over the past couple years and
at an event called Waterfest this year.
I have been seeing anumber of Waterfest events which are held every
Thursday during the summer because a freind of mine is circulating
a bring the troops home petition at each of the events and I have
helped gather those signatures.
The first day I volunteered to get signatures from those
coming in to the Waterfest events, i asked who was playing.
I come to do this from about 30 miles away.) He sez:
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. I was amzed and asked how much.
The guy told me he gets regular suplly of free passes
so I saw that show on the other events that I've done
the petitioning. A side benefit of doing important work.
He also has some sort input to the promoter and the
booking agency that gets the acts. So I am trying to
give some suggestions of acts they may not have heard
of. That's why I'm looking for headliner Ska act.
If you come up any from your kids, let me know.
mail me.
