Texas Liberals

Outsiders are usually surprised to find liberals in Texas, but there are a fair amount of us.

Most Texas libs are a conservative's worst nightmare : A well armed liberal

All my lib friends are constantly going on about their guns and inviting me to the shooting range.

I think Dems should take a cue from Texas and support guns everywhere

Hey , it's one less wedge issue we give to the Repubs.

Feel free to discuss, but please don't shoot me.

I’m late in coming to the drummer-composer John Hollenbeck. (These things happen: so many records, so little time…) It wasn’t until a few months ago that I stumbled upon <I>Eternal Interlude</I> (on the Sunnyside label), the latest CD by his 20-piece Large Ensemble, which, had I heard it earlier, would have made it on <A HREF= http://blog.stereophile.com/fredkaplan/best_jazz_of_the_year_and_the_de… >my 2009 Best 10 list</A>. (Ditto, just to set the record straight, for <A HREF= http://blog.stereophile.com/fredkaplan/darcy_james_argues_secret_societ… ><I>Infernal Machines</I></A> by Darcy James Argue’s Secret Society, that other wondrous big band that escaped my attention.)
