Words fail me in summarizing the contents of this post. But there are pictures! And music!

On the road, again, to Fredericksburg
Good country music and giant cinnamon rolls...what more could one want?
We spent a weekend in Fredericksburg and crammed a lot into the time (and our stomachs).
From Sombreros to Striped Shirts
Two centuries of music in one weekend
Two nights…two concerts…two completely different experiences.
“He’s Ringo, Yes?” — A dissenting opinion
We're all about open discourse here at the Gazette. (I hope I don't live to regret it.)
My good friend Sam took exception to my review of Ringo’s new album, “Look Up.” I invited him to present his assessment, and I was somewhat surprised, but absolutely pleased that he agreed to do so.
Ringo’s “Look Up”: Close, but no cheroot
It's country, but don't count on hearing covers at Luckenbach.
Ringo Starr’s new album of country music, “Look Up,” was released yesterday. I had high hopes for it; it falls somewhat short of them.
Texas: Music to our Ears
I'm not saying that Texas is the center of the musical universe...but I'm also not saying that it's not.
I guess every state can lay claim to some unique form of music (I’ll give Rhode Island the benefit of the doubt). But Texas — well, it stands apart, and I’ve assembled proof of that for your consideration.
Fire Ant Flickers (#3)
Poking fun at the MSM; Cleverly performed music; bird [mis]identification; universal antivenom on the horizon. And a bit more!
Yelling At [Musical] Clouds
Every generation thinks their music was the best...but only my generation is right.
I think I have a fairly open mind and eclectic tastes when it comes to music, but I seem to be increasingly out of step with literally millions of other listeners.
Random Thursday
Today is National Golf Cart Day, which begs the question: who cares?
Cicadas may make the news, but katydids are the story around here. We’ve also got young bucks, a band named after an interstate exit, and a voyeuristic webcam focused on rattlesnakes.
Electro Swing, Anyone?
Are you familiar with a genre of music called electro swing? Would you like to be? (Please say “yes.”)
