So here we are in Austin, waiting for ConMisterio to begin. Last night we went to see the Cornell Hurd Band, with our son doing the sound. He also did a guitar solo from the sound booth. Sounded great. The band had a couple of guests, Del Puschert, a guy who played sax. He toured with Elvis in the '50s, and he hasn't lost a step at age 72. Another guest was Pinetop Perkins, who's 93 and who plays boogie-woogie piano like a 20-year-old. He recorded at Sun Studios in the '50s, but only one song, "Pinetop's Boogie" was released, years after he recorded it.
A all around great show.

For a second there I thought you saw the Cornell Hull Band. Now that would have been newsworthy.
You saw Pinetop Perkins? You lucky son of a gun. Wish I had been there.
Saw him and got an autographed CD! As Cornell Hurd said, we were privileged to be in the audience.
