Hanks Possibly Texas Bound!

January 1, 1997

 

When I was driving down to Austin

I met a man he was from Boston

You know it really was exhaustin'

That was driving down to Austin

from Texas Tango by Frizz Fuller

Hanks possibly Texas bound!

Shopping list:

 

4 matchin' silver-tip-collar cowpoke shirts
4 pair matchin' turquoise snakeskin cowboy boot
4 Stetsons jes like Junior Brown wears (and that guy in Wilco)
Harry Dean Stanton issue Bolo string ties

Will the lyric-liberated prefab four actually accept this no-dough invite to the SXSW music fest in Austin? Fighting off record company indifference, exorbitant airline and hotel rates, tax, coupla hun for work visas, food costs, Lone Star beer overdraughts, redneck insurance...Stay tuned for the fiscal vicissitudes of this l'il ole humdinger.

And speaking of wasting dough: The Hencorp email server seems to have been bought out, meaning that all our fine letterhead - not to mention the email address that currently appears on several hundred thousand copies of our CDs worldwide - is soon to be as useful and purty as an armadillo at a ballet class. Alternative suggestions for servers welcome.

Also from the Int. Henrys file: The annual Folk Alliance event is in Toronto this year and the Hens seem to have weaseled their way onto that bill too, on Feb 13 at the Rivoli. (Perish the thought that we rassle us a payin' gig in '97.)

Happy New Year...Y'all!
