Those going to the Austin concert should try to make contact with each other to arrange a pre concertdinner meeting together with two very keen fans who live in Austin
They are Melissa Joe (and her husband Denny) a super couple, Melissa's version of Heaven Help The Devil, May He Have Some Unpleasant Memories is as all who heard her sing it at last November's Toronto Jam session will attest, quite simply devine.She has posted here as Melissa 5 times most recently on last year's cancelled concert topic at

you can use the corfid private message system to send her a message
which is what I intend to do next myself
I'll apologise in advance but I feel the need to retell my favourite Texas weather related anecdote
This goes back to the wonderful Expo 1967 summer in Montreal
the amusing and imaginative UK Pavilion at Expo 67
Ah yes the apochyiphal story.
It was reported that airliners from the Lone Star state would arrive at theL'aéroport International airport at Dorval
and as I previously recounted this in reply to "Texas" Tom's (another dinner attendee if he gets to Austin??) topic at
http://www.corfid.com/ubb/ultimatebb...4408;p=#000015
in which I had the temerity to say
that Texans were seen arriving at Dorval airport heavily swathed in full winter gear in July and finding it a touch embarassing to find that the temperature was the best part of 100°F, But it was reasoned that the only time such visitors would normally hear anything of the Great White North was in winter weather forecasts when they were constantly being told that there were "cold winds from Canada"
Another such popular tale concerned the first Quebecker that year to venture to Boston where he received a traffic ticket made out to "expo 67" since that was to the cop the registration number on the front of the car
I doubt if that fine ever got paid
