Me and Mr. Jones, Mr. Jones, Mr. Jones, Mr. Jones...

We got a fundraiser.... going ooooooooon!

Hello People,
TONIGHT! TONIGHT! TONIGHT! I am psyched down to my Jersey girl marrow! Southpaw Jones invited me to emcee this incredible Springsteen tribute night at the Cactus Cafe. He did one of these two years ago and it just tore the roof off, packed beyond SRO, with Austin's finest singer songwriters offering up interpretations of Bruce that even I, born and raised on the guy's lyrics, was stunned and amazed by. And there is no set cover charge. This is a fund/food raiser for the Capital Area Food Bank, a pet cause of Mr. Sprinsteen's. And also, Southpaw might not tell you, so I will, it's also a birthday party of sorts for my favorite singer songwriter, yes, that's right, Southpaw himself. So put on you birthday suit and come on out to the Cactus TONIGHT, Monday, April 5, 2009. More details below:
