We have a compliation CD coming out, tomorrow i think, called "Paint The Town Brown," all our old albums and some new songs on a two-CD set. you can get it at the shows or in the next week or so at www.texasmusicroundup.com.

You know, I was just talking to Diane Tubb at Terra Nova the other day about this compilation. They just finished the mastering for our CD. Dude, if you guys book anything after January 28 (our CD release party), we need to hook up for a show.
Holy cow! I had no idea. I'm a huge fan. I feel like I'm posting on the board with a celebrity. That's pretty cool. I just wanted to let you know that I saw you guys a lot when you played earlier and then again when I was in H-Town at a New Year's Eve Show that was during a more irregular period of Banana Blender Surprise gigs. Anyway congrats on the new CD. Glad to know that you not only play great music and shows, but that you are a bigtime Rocket's fan as well.
