Folks,
Sorry I forgot my camera for the Mucky Duck show in Houston, but I did manage to get a few fairly decent shots at the shows in Crockett, TX and Ft. Worth, TX. for your viewing pleasure.

Ellis Paul in Texas - March 28-29, 2008
"Some people are born to make great art and others are born to appreciate it. It is a kind of talent in itself, to be an audience, whether you are the spectator in the gallery or you are listening to the voice of the world's greatest soprano. Not everyone can be the artist. There have to be those who witness the art, who love and appreciate what they have been privileged to see." -- Ann Patchett in Bel Canto.

Karen...thanks for sharing those pics.....
Funny....we have an Ellis Road around here, too!!!
Your photo of bluebonnets reminded me of a favorite old Nanci Griffith song that come to think of it I would love to hear Ellis and Antje cover some day.
Gulf Coast Highway ~ Nanci Griffith
Gulf Coast Highway
He worked the rails
He worked the rice fields
With their cool dark wells
He worked the oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico
The only thing we've ever owned
Is this old house here by the road
And when he dies he says he'll catch some blackbird's wing
Then he will fly away to Heaven come some sweet blue bonnet spring
She walked through springtime
When I was home
The days were sweet
The nights were warm
The seasons change the jobs would come the flowers fade
This old house felt so alone
When the work took me away
And when she dies she says; she'll catch some blackbird's wing
Then she will fly away to Heaven come some sweet blue bonnet spring
Highway 90
The jobs are gone
We tend our garden
We set the sun
This is the only place on earth blue bonnets grow
Once a year they come and go
At this old house here by the road
And when we die we say we'll catch some blackbird's wing
Then we will fly away to heaven come some sweet blue bonnet spring
And when we die we'll catch some blackbird's wing
We will fly away together come some sweet blue bonnet spring
Here's Nanci in 1988 on Austin City Limits

Great to see the pix - thanks for posting them. Now I must tell you this story........on Monday evening we went to see Brooks Williams (absolutely stunning guitarist who put on a fabulous show) and he told the audience about this place in Crockett, Texas where he plays at the Camp Street cafe and there is a statue of one of his heroes Lightnin' Hopkins - he has written a song about sitting at the feet of Lightnin' Hopkins and he played it on Monday. Well Richard and I couldn't believe the coincidence that he was talking about the place where our friend Karen had been just a few nights before to see Ellis and Peter Mulvey!
After the show we spoke with Brooks and told him about this coincidence, I think he was just as flabbergasted as we were at the coincidence and he said that the last time he'd played there he'd seen that EP and PM were on the bill and he knew that he'd be in the UK when they were on. He obviously knows the pair of them and said nice things about both guys.
Well they do say its a small world and it seems to be getting smaller and smaller!

PS I'm going to start a Brooks Williams thread.

Jela,
That is just FREAKY!
I have one or two Brooks Williams CDs, but I confess I've never really given them a proper listen. I'll try to remedy that.
