<P>Mike--<BR>The Tommy Hall schedule is listed on the flyer; it must be a "homage" band, since the focus of the whole concert seems to be on his era. Your memories are pretty good; the woman with the baby carriage must have been Joann, who lived across from Tommy and me a year or so earlier than your observation. Gilbert I think lived in the house next door to the one I described in this morning's post. Did you ever run into the mysterious English lecturer Claude Allen , who managed the building? I heard he moved to Cleveland shortly after, having been bounced from UT. Tary was living with Madeleine when I was there, but no baby that I remember.</P>

<DIV></DIV>>Jon,
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>The flyer doesn't say that Tommy Hall himself
<DIV></DIV>>will be performing.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>I knew Tommy back then when he was married to Tina
<DIV></DIV>>(with baby) and even before. Wasn't he and Tary
<DIV></DIV>>roommates in an apartment in the back of the house
<DIV></DIV>>on 22nd street where Gilbert had the front downstairs
<DIV></DIV>>apartment? (this is a VERY vague memory) But I
<DIV></DIV>>also remember Tary and Madeleine married with
<DIV></DIV>>baby. Many babies it seems. I remember Ramsey
<DIV></DIV>>pushing a babycarriage and I remember his wife of
<DIV></DIV>>those years (vaguely).
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>There was an interview with Tommy a few years
<DIV></DIV>>ago in the Austin Chronicle.
<DIV></DIV>>
