Janice Williams Loves Austin

I have read a lot of blogs in my time where the writers go on and on ad infinitum about the tweaks they make on their website and the troubles they have. Man, now I can relate. After spending hours and hours and FINALLY getting it to look like I want it to look like (well, to a degree), all I can think about writing about is what I’ve gone through.

I will spare you, but please do go admire my July site. I left June as it is (blah) and bedazzled July, now that it has been updated good, too. Mark suggested last night that I add more pictures. Always a great idea, but a lot more time consuming than anyone that hasn’t done it can imagine. But they are there now for the world to see. Still so many other ideas I want to incorporate!
In my quest to see 30 bands in 30 days, I may have hit a wall… I’m tired! I stayed in over the weekend and stayed home from TC’s tonight, too. If I’m going to do it, I will have to get out tomorrow and I hope that I can find at least one band playing early, right after work, so I can catch them and then come home for more recuperating. So that means no Reckless Kelly CD release at Antone’s, but they wouldn’t count on my quest anyway since I saw them last week.

At Kevin Fowler’s show Friday night, he led into the song “Long Line of Losers” by talking about family.

By the way, congratulations to Kevin for getting a big Nashville cut. Montgomery Gentry just did that song on their new CD. I have only heard about 60 seconds of it, but it didn’t seem to me they have the wink in their eye when they sing it that Kevin does. Not nearly as good, but I hope it brings in lots of mailbox money for the Fowlers.

But Kevin does his introduction and he says “We’ve all got them, members of our family that are white trash! And you just hate ‘em.” He went on from there, but Christy and I looked at each other. She claims she doesn’t have any white trash in her family. I said I most certainly DO have some white trash in my family, but I love them just the same. None of that family would ever read my blog, I’m sure, but I will still refrain from telling tales, but there are plenty!

I was thinking about putting in a family picture or two into the blog tonight because I had a conversation yesterday with a man in Brownwood. I am related to him on my mother’s side and to his wife on my father’s side. Interesting to find that out. I am not-so-distantly related to her (second cousins, once removed), but very very distantly related to him. I will refrain from putting any family pictures today because I wouldn’t want you to think that was an indication that any of these folks were/are white trash.
