When Cleave Hattersley, Kinky Friedman and Billy Joe Shaver decided to "put on a show," they called a few old friends to see if they wanted to play. Sweet Mary Hattersley picked up her fiddle and stepped on stage with Washington Ratso and Little Jewford to reincarnate the Texas Jewboy, Jesse "Guitar" Taylor took a break from the Joe Ely Band to sit in with Billy Joe, and took it on the road... well - sort of on the road. They opened at the legendary Broken Spoke in Austin on Wednesday night, played Friday at a little place in San Antonio called Carlsbad Tavern, and brought it home to Cheatham Street Warehouse for another one of those spiritual moments in Texas Music.

Thanks for letting us be a part of the magic.
