Season’s greetings from Asleep at the Wheel

Christmas is just over a week away, and I hope you’re done with your holiday shopping (and if not, yes, I can still help!). Ray Benson, co-writer/subject/star of “Comin’ Right at Ya,”  doesn’t exactly celebrate Christmas, being Jewish and all; but he is nevertheless purveying holiday cheer with Asleep at the Wheel’s “Merry Texas Christmas!” tour, which plays this very eve at the ArtsCenter in Carrboro, North Carolina.

Yes, of course, I will be there — like you had to ask. But please do drop on by and say howdy if you’re in the vicinity.

Also, earlier in the day Thursday, Ray and I will be on radio station WUNC’s “The State of Things,” starting at about 12:30 p.m. Eastern Time, to yack about this and that. Listen to that here.

 

Good talk on WUNC’s “The State of Things”

Thursday brings Asleep at the Wheel to my home turf to perform at the Carrboro ArtsCenter. And while they’re in the vicinity, “Comin’ Right at Ya” co-writer/subject/star Ray Benson and I will be appearing on “The State of Things,” the mid-day talk show on WUNC 91.5-FM (and a show I’ve been on before). I believe Ray and I are scheduled to be on the air at about 12:30 p.m. Eastern Time Thursday.

We’ll be talking with host Frank Stasio about the book, of course, and also probably the Wheel’s “Merry Texas Christmas!” show happening Thursday night — not to mention their New Year’s Eve return engagement, opening for fellow travelers the Avett Brothers at Greensboro Coliseum. So tune us in on the radio (or listen online), and then drop on by the show at the ArtsCenter later and say hey. I bet Ray can be talked into signing copies of the book.
