The "Psychotic Reaction" guy also died recently.

And Delaney Bramlett. I've been interested in his short heyday,
especially since Bobby Whitlock moved to Austin.

A junior high favorite of mine.

Gotta love Austin. I'm hoping to catch some of the scene when I'm there
in March.

Bobby Whitlock said on the Hoffman forum that was really written by Carl
Radle. Bramlett probably contributed to the finished song, but somehow
Radle's credit got lost in the shuffle.

SXSW is March 17-21, coinciding with spring break, but there's always
something going on.

In Austin? That place is an oasis, just like Athens GA and Lawrence
KS.

I've been invited again, but I may have to pass. Last year I was ill,
and this year I'm a little nervous about airfare, hotel reservations,
transportation and those $350 tickets.

You can't hardly thow a stone without hittun a redneck.

Back to Freddie... I saw him about 5 times in the mid-80s, he was
always my favorite - edgy, high energy hard bop, always full bore.
Then sometime around 1994 he blew his lip and was never the same.
He was one of those figures who you kept hoping would heal up and
make a comeback. Every few years there'd be a concert announcement,
which was invariably canceled at the last minute. His death is the
end of that hope so many of his fans kept for the past 15 years.

I agree. Thanks for the good post.

I've only attended on borrowed passes and I've usually been too busy
working to go anyway. Fortunately there are free shows, too, and
unaffiliated events.

I see you can book a hotel online when you register. Transportation
shouldn't be a problem: most of the action is downtown at walkable
distances.

Can't do anything about those expensive passes!

But you have to throw it out of Austin to do it.
