Chris Wallis came back from Vegas (where all he won was a cold) and rejoined Pat and I at Baker's Street in Austin tonight. We had a fantastic crowd, and we played a bunch of new tunes for them. On our first break, I had a couple come up and tell me how much they enjoyed all the New Orleans piano tunes we were playing and then ask me about a few other Austin musicians, none of which I knew. They were surprised I wasn't "in the know" until I told them I had just moved to the area recently. When they asked where I moved here from, I told them Indiana, to which they responded, "I didn't know the bayou stretched that far north."
Best compliment of the evening.
