I want to SINCERELY thank Brian and Linda for stopping in Houston to “grace” us with their presence! In case you missed it, here was the scenario:

Our original venue (The Stag’s Head Pub) doubled booked, the manager quit, and Andrew was not notified. However, Ken Gaines, Mark Zeus, T.C. Smythe in conjunction with the Houston/Fort Bend Songwriter’s Association (www.HFBSA.org) convinced the JP Hops House Brew & Pub to allow us to have our showcase there! If it weren’t for these hard working and dedicated individuals, our show would not have went on!

BIG THANKS ALSO TO ALL THE PERFORMERS! We have some REALLY talented people in this city! (The “*” are the ones I had the pleasure of meeting personally.)
