By the way, Chuck, you sound like a guy who knows the score. I’m going to Austin in a few weeks for the first time - any advice of where I can catch some good live, real (read: non-bro) country and/or swing?
I wish I could help, but I avoid Austin as much as possible, too many libs and wayyy too brutal on traffic.
Maybe one of the locals from down there will pitch in some good advice.
Hey, check this stuff out. I posted up in the Texas board for guidance in your sensitive quest LOL, and these are the responses I got. These peeps know all this sorta stuff:
