I get the cool honor of teaching Honors courses with a Texas focus at Austin Community College. This last month has been particularly interesting, with me moderating a panel discussion of
Billy Lee Brammer's classic novel of Texas politics,
The Gay Place, and a visit from
Bob Livingston, a member of
Jerry Jeff Walker's Lost Gonzo Band and a true Texas musical legend in his own right.

The Brammer panel included
Don Graham, Gary Cartwright, Babe Schwartz, Jan Reid, Kaye Northcott and
Nadine Eckhardt. It followed a premiere screening of a short film adaption of part of
The Gay Place by Brammer's daughters
Shelby and Sidney Brammer.

Bob entertains my class.
