a nice feature on Lisa in yesterday’s DMN.
And here is
Lisa’s myspace page.



Special guests will include Bruce Balmer, Jeffrey Barnes, and J. Paul Slavens as they recreate the magic of this studio release. Lisa’s press release says: “the doors open at 7:00, show at 7:30, cover is $10. Dress up if the spirit moves you–be there regardless!”
Hard to believe, but I’ve known Lisa over a decade now, from our time in the new defunct Greenville Avenue Songwriter’s Group. We’ve also shared many a memorable moment at Kerrville. Her fellow Malvini, Beth Cahill plays on my CD (
here) Part of why I’m writing this is out of guilt. I can’t be there tonight, because of a prior commitment with Maria. Which really bums me out.

But if you can, you should go.
