katurday/jim yanaway
today is my sweetie's b-day so we're doing whatever she wants to do.
last night, had dinner with my 30-year friend jim yanaway. jim promoted country shows at fort worth's panther hall back in the early '70s, had a radio show ("finger poppin' time") on kchu, made mind-melting recordings of u.p. wilson and pre-phenom stevie vaughan, ran clubs and a record label (amazing records -- "if it's a hit, it's amazing"), managed the legendary stardust cowboy, and did it all with wry humor and a love of music that's based on knowledge of and respect for the real shit. he's trying to get a country show on satellite radio. if they're smart, they'll pick him up.
ADDENDUM: we wound up walking to sardines and seeing jeremy hull and keith wingate play with johnny case. it gets no better.
