If your visit included Thursday you could have also enjoyed a great Irish Trad jam at 'The Brew Moon' on - I think San Pedro - it is a little out of town as best I can remember, but well worth the effort.

These days it seems as if there are so many wannbe Austin type venues all over other Texas musicvilles and SA is no exception, you could be wasting your time not going to Austin. Still Tejano is an excellent alternative to tinseltwangwhine, and the few little dwee dangtwendies like Casbeers(on the Internet) where the SouthTexas sound is loud and clear, provide unexpected excellence and originality - therefore very well worth the effort. None of these venues would be on the RW since that is a tourist zone complete with it's very own Peruvian folk band - yeah me too ... what a Peruvian band???? -


The Alamo - near the RW - would justify a visit to SA without any music, so I am confident that no matter what you end up doing it will be lots of fun.

Musical Archeologists will be pleased to learn the 60's US Popband 'The Monkies' have San Antonio roots as well. You may thank Dr. Bob Zeigler, President of SACollege, for that lil gem (comments in the press)

Now if only I can find that train station so I can finally buy a ticket to Clarkesville.....
