Favorite on my list is the winner of category 66, Best Traditional Blues Album, "Joined At The Hip" by Pinetop Perkins & Willie 'Big Eyes' Smith. Pinetop makes Austin his home and frequently plays around town, especially at Antones. Here's a picture of Pinetop and me at Antones
Others on my list include category 15. Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance "Helter Skelter" by Paul McCartney, category 19. Best Rock Instrumental Performance, "Hammerhead" by Jeff Beck, category 60. Best Rock Song, "Angry World" by Neil Young and last but by no means least category 67. Best Contemporary Blues Album, "Living Proof" by Buddy Guy.

Antones brought in the New Year in a big way, featuring, Headliner and 2010 Grammy nominee, Jimmie Vaughan, 2010 Grammy nominee, PINETOP PERKINS, and Austin's very own Queen Of The Blues, LOU ann BARTON !! Just before midnight, Jimmie and his band were joined onstage by none other than Texas own, The Reverend Billy G of ZZ TOP fame!! Billy stayed onstage for a couple songs, counting down the New Year with the entire audience!!
from the "It's nice to be king" department:
I recently won a Guitar Center "King of the Blues" guitar playoff contest semi-final held here in Austin Texas and was 1 of 6 semi-finalists during the September 10, 2009 playoffs.
Several years ago I lost control of my independent record label, Rocking House Records. I lost it because I was too broke to renew the $29.95 fee for another year. It was a sad day, at least for me and a few other Texas Musical Artists who were on the label. Therefore, I am delighted to announce to the world that I have regained control & ownership of RockingHouseRecords.Com. My newest CD, EQUATORIA, will be released on the RHR label and I will be retiring both DeadOnRecords.com and RockingHouseRecords.NET. All past and future recordings by other artists and myself will appear on the Rocking House Records Label.
