Alvin Crow has been a fixture of the Austin music scene since he relocated here from Amarillo in 1973.
Crow played a major part in the Cosmic Cowboy revolution of the 1970's, where the hippies and rednecks stopped fighting each other and started groovin' together at the Armadillo World Headquarters. Through the foggy interior of the Armadillo, Alvin and his 9-piece swing band could be seen either headlining or playing the opening slot of now-legendary shows featuring such acts as Bruce Springstein, Gram Parsons, and Marshall Tucker.
Countless appearances at the Split Rail, the One Knight, the Hole in the Wall, and of course, the Broken Spoke, not to mention Carnegie Hall and several world tours with the Sir Douglas Quintet, have forever cemented Crow's place in the hearts of true Texas music lovers. The infamous Flexible Flyer tour bus may be gone, but you will still hear the sounds of Faded Love and the Nyquil Blues ring out loud and proud every week at the dancehalls and venues of Austin.

Texas beaches need your help
Last week state Rep. Wayne Christian pulled a sly move in the legislature and created an exception to the Texas Open Beaches Act that allows him and his neighbors on Bolivar Peninsula to build houses on the PUBLIC BEACH.
This is bad news.
We have a campaign to convince Texas Governor Rick Perry to veto this bad bill.
This is very simple and your email could make the difference.
All you have to do is send an email---
to: greg.davidson@governor.state.tx.us
subject: Veto HB770
text: "Governor Perry, please veto HB770"
It's as simple as that.
