"When Johnny Rodriguez sang "Cuando Caliente El Sol" at the house of Randy Willis in Austin, Texas, I sat on the stairs close by, feeling that for that one song all my experience in life and in music came together in one radiant point. I was sharing the moment with Carolyn, my sister, and I knew she was having fun meeting people who make music and understanding the spark that each person carried. We were in a room that honored Darrell Royal. Sonny Throckmorton hosted the event, an Austin cable channel filmed, and some of the stars of Texas music lined up to sing their songs. We heard a set by Sonny Throckmorton and Bruce Channel ("Hey Baby"), followed by a short set by 15 year old Kimarie. My sister has reserved us a room in Austin on October 31, just to hear Kimarie at Randy's club, Roper's." more>>
