Sadly, this ninety-year-old outlasted us... by 2 am, we were starting to lose focus... he was still pickin' and smilin'...
everyone really should own the Fat Possum documentary "You See Me Laughing"... but here is a clip of part of the T Model portion....

Damm I missed him Thursday night at a small club in Little Rock due to work..... Bah
ReplyDeleteYeah I saw him a couple times down in Austin. He used to travel with a drummer who only had a snare and hi-hat.
ReplyDeleteHe hit on all the UT babes in the audience for the whole show. T proudly confesses that he took up guitar at age 72 or something "to meet chicks."
I can only aspire that I will be a tiny hint of such a shameless horny toad this year, let alone when I am 90.
Here's a you tub3 of recent Austin T Model concert...know what I'm sayin?
