Wylieisms: The Guy and Townes Story

This was plucked from the Facebook garden of goodness posted by Ray Wylie Hubbard... I love all of it, you get an occasional excerpt here:

i thought i told the guy and townes story..anyhow if you missed it here it is again.. i went to see guy and townes at the 3 tear drops tavern in dallas do a song swap..place was packed. i was standing at the bar and and didn't even know they knew i was there. they got on stage and had played about 45 minutes when townes said ''hey, there's ray wylie hubbard at the bar..lets get him up to do a song.'' i walked up to the stage to a smattering of applause, townes handed me his guitar and he and guy walked off stage. i forgot what i played but was about half way through it, maybe 2 minutes or so when i look up and the front door of the club swings open and i see guy and townes get into a cab. i finished the song and i think i said, ''there's gonna be a short break here for a while..guy and townes just left in a cab..i'm pretty sure they'll be back.'' the audience just laughed and kind of whooped and applauded and about a half an hour later guy and townes walked in, got on stage and played a couple of hours.. poets are like that.
i consider guy and townes and billy joe the high holy and sacred songwriting trinity.. and if you were to cut their words..they would bleed. hey i got a bunch of other stuff to lay on you this week.
practice..read..listen..watch..
yours truly,
rwh

Artist Spotlight: Jonny Burke

Jonny and Ben "Lovey" Dorcy (Dec 2013)
New Braunfels has an amazingly high concentration of talent within its walls for a "small town". Many people have migrated here over the years because of legendary venues such as Gruene Hall and the number of folks here with strong songwriting chops that make amazing collaborators and even mentors. The other side of that coin is the number of New Braunfels natives that have joined the local, unofficial songwriter's guild. One such talent is songwriter Jonny Burke. He was born and raised in New Braunfels, and was exposed to good music at a young age. His dad gave him the beginnings of his music education, feeding him with guitar fundamentals and great music. By the age of 15, Burke had already begun playing music in public, and even formed a band in high school that had a fair amount of regional popularity.

Jonny has spent many of his adult years on the road including a few years in Los Angeles, but has always considered New Braunfels home. Much of 2013, Jonny has been in Texas and has been writing and working on many songs in preparation of his as of yet unnamed full length album that is planned for a 2014 release. Jonny's prior discography includes a 2009 EP "The Long Haul", his first LP "Distance and Fortune" which he released in early 2011, and his latest full-length record "Cup Runneth Over" that was released in 2013.

Aside from touring and perfecting his new material, Jonny has been hosting a cool, new series at River Road Ice House in New Braunfels. His Rooftop Ramble series started out upstairs on Sunday afternoons, but when the chill of December hit, the ramble had to move downstairs where the doors could shut out the cold and keep the music playing. The guests that have joined Jonny so far read straight from the pages of "who's who" in music over the last year.

2013 Rooftop Ramble:
Nov:
3 - Kevin Galloway of Uncle Lucius
10 - Chris King
17 - Evan Felker of Turnpike Troubadours
24 - Jamie Wilson of The Trishas

Dec:
1 - Rob Baird
8 - The Damn Quails
15 - Owen Temple
22 - Mike Harmeier of Mike and the Moonpies

Many great weeks have past so far, but you can still make it to the final 2013 Rooftop Ramble at River Road Ice House with Mike of Mike and the Moonpies, which will most definitely end the series for the year with a nice dose of real country. Keep watching the schedule, as Rooftop Ramble appears to be in the works again for 2014!

2014 Rooftop Ramble:
March 9: Courtney Patton
March 16: TBA
March 23: TBA
March 30: TBA

Throwback: Indian Head Ranch Trail Ride 2012

Thought I'd share this video of a really cool, long weekend of good music, good people, good food and good music (yes, I said music twice) back in September, 2012 in New Mexico. My friend Jason Allen invited me along on this trip, and I can't thank him enough for such a great experience.

Ray Wylie Hubbard - The Disclaimers

This is from Ray's twitter feed @raywylie and I thought it was high time I added more of his bits of wisdom.

#1: i am not responsible for any songs written by those i showed how to make an E chord without the 3rd or a fingerpicking pattern
#2: i did not authorize any of those photographs taken where i look goofy
#3: i am not kin to l. ron hubbard; any hubbards in professional wrestling, running guns, faith healing or doing time..well, sure
#4: don't blame me for all this 'redneck' hoopla. 40 years ago i was a hippie..it was meant sarcastically
#5: i never actually sold my soul to the devil..i did lease it to him when i was in my twenties for a while..
If there are more, I'll add them!

Christmas Light in New Braunfels

I've seen plenty of attempts at Giswolding houses at Christmas, but we have one of the best representations of this right here in New Braunfels! The homeowner calls his home "West Pole", and when you get near this house and tune to the correct FM frequency, you'll see and hear the sights and sounds of Christmas.

Hippy Gypsy Grand Opening

Wait, what? But I thought Hippy Gypsy was some cool new boutique clothing and accessory store?! Why am I seeing something about it on a music blog? Well, that's because Hippy Gypsy is not only these things, but they are also the coolest new music store in town. They are going to sell music and musician merchandise, and will have a stage with regular live performances, and I'd guess release parties as well! Also, for the grand opening celebration this Saturday between 11am and 4pm they are going to have live music from Bj Thibodeaux, Court Nance, Scott Morgan, Kyle Reed, and Aaron Stephens plus free gumbo, free beer, free wine and a candy bar. Come check out this new store for the first time with the rest of us on Saturday!
