I spent a vacation in Texas once. I must say that Houston was awful.
I had a good set in Houston (good audience connection, though on
listening back to the set it wasn't particularly great), but the
evening did turn weird and dark--the deaf sound guy insisted that we
stole his poster of Jesus, and he inevitably had the PA cranked way
too high. Then one of our other people insulted his microphone, and
it all went downhill.
Once I got outside Houston it was great.
Agreed. I really liked Denton and Austin, which makes for a small
sample set, but still...
Houston is where Jandek lives, isn't it?
Yep! Regrettably, I didn't find out until later that we played less
than a minute by car from his house. Not that I would have knocked
on the door or anything, but it might have been interesting just to
take a look at the neighborhood.
But for Maurice's support, I'd have no intention of checking out Jandek.
I'm falling behind--I think I have about half his recorded output
now. #40 just came out. Also, he's pre-announced a gig in London on
