I just recently got back from an annual country music festival in Mirande, France with Ruby Dee and 17 of the greatest people you would ever meet. The tour is essentially set up like a showcase tour from the 50's: 10 headliners, 2 house bands. I happpened to be fortunate enough to play electric guitar in one of the house bands backing up Austinites Teri Joyce, Paul Minor, and Robert J. Banta, in addition to slingin' electric guitar with Ruby Dee doin' our Snakehandlers set.
