I had never heard of this guy until I saw him on Austin City Limits this week. Now, I'm a fan. He's one of those amazing musicians that continue to be turned out in Texas. He doesn't look like he does in this video. The hair is shorter but shaggier and he has a full beard. In a brief interview after his performance he said he can't figure out why people pay money to come and listen to him sing songs he wrote in his bedroom. He reportedly has a repertoire of 400 songs. This one . . . performed on an earlier ACL show . . . reportedly is his trademark. Get up on your feet and prepare to "shake your booty!"
This next one is even better.

Well would you look at this!
I've been poking a bit of fun at residents of other parts of the United States this winter. Parts that seem to be covered in snow and cold weather. But look what happened in my part of Arizona this morning.
Oh, I know. It's not much. Only a dusting. But it certainly gave Blackwell an idea about how to spend the day.
