I was about 9. My mom was a band singer, and my dad was a jazz trombonist. For many years he played lead trombone at Harrah's in Reno.

That's an interesting pedigree. It certainly accounts for your taste in music. Most of your peers were probably Alvin and the Chipmunks fans.

Austin -- live music capital of the world. I have tickets coming up to Eric Clapton, Leo Kotke, Bon Jovi, Zac Brown Band, and the Lumineers, all in about a 5 week period.

Funny you should mention Kottke as I was going to post this. Thought it was appropriate for the venue.
