How Austin Rolls

A very cool photo of Charlie Sexton, Robert Plant, and Jimmie Vaughan in Austin last week. I spoke with Charlie and Jimmie at C-Boy's a couple of weeks ago, very cool cats! Bill Carter should've been in this photo too though, another really cool cat. I think I convinced Bill to come up to Minnie with The Blame. It would be super cool if Johnny Depp tagged along with them again too. The Blame has never played up in MN but Charlie is still playing with Bob Dylan fer gerd's sake. I'll have to make a phone call to 1st. Ave. and see what they can do about this situation. Maybe they could do a double bill with Jimmie just like how they gig together down here in TX.

I really enjoyed photographing Robert Plant. He's a very photogenic guy who just oozes rock n' roll without even trying!
