Livestock lullabies!




When preparing for a major tour rehearsal time is essential! And when it can be coordinated with a gig doing good for our hooved friends, so much the better. So it is that we found ourselves crooning to sleep the magnificent show cattle at the legendary State Fair of Texas. They were much appreciative, of course, as the mellifluous music provided by the band eased the bovines from the excitement of the day into the sweet slumber of night. Soon the gentle lowing turned to sometimes guttural snoring...but we woke up Clyde before he disturbed our snoozing charges!
Just kidding, Clyde!

Anyway, we had the opportunity to polish some of our more easy listening numbers for a decidedly uncritical audience...good preparation for those more laid back fans we expect to find in Santa Fe and Taos during our upcoming Fall 2008 Tour of New Mexico and The Great Southwest!
