A 18 Island Moon April 11, 2013 Lisabellas Bistro & Bar Celebrating Coastal Cuisine 361-749-4222 Open Monday - Saturday at 5:00 pm Casual Dining at it’s Finest Nightly Seafood Specials By Ronnie Narmour [email protected] And what a party it was… This has been a big week for sad goodbyes here on the Island as we bid adieu to several of our friends. Our pal, Susan Powell, sold her part of the Back Porch and threw one world- class retirement party last Thursday. Anybody who was anybody in Port A made the scene and Susan brought in her favorite band, Mingo Fishtrap (Austin, TX) for the soirée. We danced, we drank, we ate, we told stories, we wished we could retire… we will surely miss Susan and Gentry. They will now be spending most of their time at their ranch in Goliad and traveling, but promise to drop in on us from time to time. Thanks for the great party Susan. You’ve gotten quite good at throwing them in the past several decades. Roy Cox memorial this Sunday… We lost an island legend, Roy Cox, last week. He had been in poor health for quite some time. Cox was the bassist and vocalist for the 60’s psychedelic band, Bubble Puppy, who had the top-twenty hit, Hot Smoke and Sassafras, in 1968. There will be a memorial for Roy at Shorty’s Place on Sunday, April 14 th from 5-7 with an open jam hosted by some of the musicians from Austin, San Antonio and the island who played with Roy over the years. Also, there will be a silent auction held to help Roy’s father with burial expenses. Dave Bottlehead Miller passes… And on Tuesday, we lost another friend; Dave Bottlehead Miller succumbed to his fight with kidney failure and brain cancer. He will suffer no longer. Originally from Ft. Worth, Miller was a soulful singer who could belt out a blues number with the fury of freight train. He got his nickname from Blind Sam Meyers, a famous north Texas blues man who witnessed Miller getting clobbered over the head with a beer bottle one night in a seedy Ft. Worth blues bar. Needless to say, Dave Miller was a passionate, talented man with many friends and fans. I’ll let you know when a tribute is scheduled. Joe Mack & Carter Sampson… Joe Mack and Carter Sampson (Tahlequah, OK) played the Back Porch last Friday night. You may remember Joe Mack from playing the Tarpon Ice House a few times in the past couple of years. He’s the one I’ve referred to as the “happy mad scientist”. He plays a busy guitar and records himself in loops, building the song in real time. Well, this time he showed up as a duo act with a lady and her guitar… Carter Sampson. She was nothing short of amazing and put a whole new slant to Joe Mack’s act. He still plays a busy guitar and is still happy in a mad way, but SHE is incredible. Sampson’s voice is strong and beautiful… and grabs you. Their song selection was not full of typical covers and stayed original. I’ve always been a fan of Joe Mack but now I have an added appreciation. These two have a chemistry that’s so strong you can smell it. We’ll get them back down here. I want to see this again (and again). DO NOT MISS LIST This weekend… Tonight, Thursday, April 11th, guitar-slinger Michael O’Connor (Brenham, TX) will play the House of Rock. Originally from Corpus, O’Connor is one of the more sought after sidemen on the circuit and often shows up with such greats as Slaid Cleave, Susan Gibson, Adam Carroll and Jack Saunders. Truth be known, O’Connor is a stellar front man and puts on an excellent solo show with his original material. He truly deserves his 2010 star on the South Texas Walk of Fame. On Friday April 12 th , Charlie Hagar & the Capt. Legendary Band (Baton Rogue, LA) will bring their soulful brand of Americana to the Back Porch. This is foot stompin’ country music, where the bayou meets the hills. Also on the 12 th , good songs, vocals, and repartee with songstress Carol Elliott (Port Aransas, TX) at the Tarpon Ice House happy hour (5-7). Also on the 12 th catch Ray T & the City Crew (Aransas Pass, TX) at the Flat’s Lounge and Woodie Ray Lawson’s band, The Ones at the Sunset Sounds concert series put on by the Parks and Rec Department in Port A each year at Robert’s Point Park. Bring the kids and dogs, your lawn chairs and ice chest for a great, relaxed show at the Patsy Jones Amphitheater by the ferry landing in Port A. This is a really cool island event. On Saturday April 13 th , the big ten piece, horn fueled party band Cruise Control (Corpus Christi, TX) will roll into the Back Porch. Bring your dancing shoes! Also on the 13 th , Three Way Street is at Shorty’s, Melissa Brooke is at the South Texas Ice House in Corpus, Stevie Start is at the Coast Club and Raeanne & the Ride is at Giggity’s… all excellent local bands. Next weekend… Next Friday, April 19 th , Moon Light Social, the up and coming Austin duo will play the Porch. The band is produced by Asleep at the Wheel frontman, Ray Benson and was named winner of the 2011 Austin Chronicle Sound Wars after beating out nearly 100 other Austin bands. On Saturday, April 20 th , the internationally acclaimed all female bluesgrass phenom, Della Mae (Boston, MA) will play the Back Porch. The band features two-time National Fiddle Champion Kimber Ludiker and has shared stages with the likes of Willie Nelson, Del McCoury and Leon Russell. DON’T MISS THIS SHOW FOR LOVE OR MONEY!!! Also on the 20 th , the Port A Airport will host an open house with music by Hy Eddleman and others. One more thing on the 20 th to watch for… one of our island treasures, Lela Caldwell has moved back to Port A from Austin. Lela is an incredible guitarist. Check her out on You Tube. She plays all varieties of music from rock to blues to classical to electronic. She has put together a production with laser lights and plays guitar with pre-recorded tracks which she calls Purple Monkey Laser and it’s cool. She will bring this performance to Shorty’s (her favorite old hang) on April 20 and 27 and to Giggity’s in May. This will be something entirely different and well worth checking out. On the horizon… Briefly, on Thursday, April 25 th , the fabulous Gypsy Kings will play Concrete Street Amphitheater. More on that next time. Also, this is SandFest weekend (April 26-28) when 100,000 people will invade us to see mind boggling sand sculptures by master artists from around the world. It’s on the beach in Port A and you will soon be hearing all about it from every direction. On April 26 th , the Krayolas (San Antonio, TX) will play the Porch and J.T. Coldfire (Austin, TX) will bring his gut bucket blues to Giggity’s. On the 27 th , Houston Marchman will play the Porch and the great rockin’ funk band, Vallejo (Austin, TX) will play the Executive Surf Club. I’ll go into more detail on all these shows next time.

And what a party it was…
This has been a big week for sad goodbyes here on the Island as we bid adieu to several of our friends. Our pal, Susan Powell, sold her part of the Back Porch and threw one world-class retirement party last Thursday. Anybody who was anybody in Port A made the scene
and Susan brought in her favorite band, Mingo Fishtrap (Austin, TX) for the soirée. We danced, we drank, we ate, we told stories, we wished we could retire… we will surely miss Susan and Gentry. They will now be spending most of their time at their ranch in Goliad and traveling, but promise to drop in on us from time to time. Thanks for the great party Susan. You’ve gotten quite good at throwing them in the past several decades.
Roy Cox memorial this Sunday…
We lost an island legend, Roy Cox, last week. He had been in poor health for quite some time. Cox was the bassist and vocalist for the 60’s psychedelic band, Bubble Puppy, who had
the top-twenty hit, Hot Smoke and Sassafras, in 1968. There will be a memorial for Roy at Shorty’s Place on Sunday, April 14th from 5-7 with an open jam hosted by some of the musicians from Austin, San Antonio and the island who played with Roy over the years. Also, there will be a silent auction held to help Roy’s father with burial expenses.
Dave Bottlehead Miller passes…And on Tuesday,
we lost another friend; Dave Bottlehead Miller succumbed to his fight with kidney failure and brain cancer. He will suffer no longer. Originally from Ft. Worth, Miller was a soulful singer who could belt out a blues number with
the fury of freight train. He got his nickname from Blind Sam Meyers, a famous north Texas blues man who witnessed Miller getting clobbered over the head with a beer bottle one night in a seedy Ft. Worth blues bar. Needless to say, Dave Miller was a passionate, talented man with many friends and fans. I’ll let you know when a tribute is scheduled.
Joe Mack & Carter Sampson…Joe Mack and
Carter Sampson ( T a h l e q u a h , OK) played the Back Porch last Friday night. You may remember Joe Mack from playing the Tarpon Ice House a few times in the past couple of years. He’s the one I’ve referred to as the “happy mad scientist”. He
plays a busy guitar and records himself in loops, building the song in real time. Well, this time he showed up as a duo act with a lady and her guitar… Carter Sampson.
