Welcome Laura Marie, Haydn Vitera and Cleve and Sweet Mary from the Greezy Wheels

It’s May 2008 and you are chomping at the bit on who our special Songwriter guests we have scheduled for our May 17th Songwriters Series Live Internet broadcast concert. Well, I will tell you. I am feeling charitable or shamelessly self-promotable but it is all in the spin. We have legendary songwriters from the Greezy Wheels – Cleve Hattersly and Sweet Mary. The Greezy Wheels were the first band on Austin City Limits and now they pioneer music television once again appearing on one of the world’s first independent Internet-broadcast television series – The Songwriters Series.

Next up, we have Haydn Vitera who is bringing along David Vitera and Dave Perez. Haydn has played for Asleep at the Wheel and Rick Trevino but he’s much better being himself. We saw him at Nuevo Leon restaurant several years ago and have been hounding is agent for him to play but they have been giving us the windy day so when I added myself as his devoted fan upon his fan list, I was able to ask him directly and do you know what he said to me? He said – OK. So, there it is. The heck with managers. They just get in the way because Haydn saw the power and beauty of our worldwide broadcast and not only said “OK” but “Hell Yeah.” So, Give ‘em Hell Yeah Haydn as my persistence for the past three years hounding you has paid off but, really, our worldwide fans will reap the benefits.

Last but not least is San Antonio songwriter Laura Marie. She’s bringing some Congas with her too. I found her in my pursuit to reach out to other Texas cities and either San Antonio is void of songwriters or void of a songwriters group to access or have issues with Austin being a cooler city. But Go Spurs Go! BUT, finally a songwriter comes out of the ashes of the Alamo to drive up to our lil’ town to perform for our show to the world. You cannot miss this show. And I mean that literally. If your cheap ass can pay for an Internet line that is above a phone cord then you cannot miss the show. Log onto the Songwriters Series at 8:30 PM (CT), grab a cold one and e-mail Doug@Watkins.org with your requests or zodiac sign (he’s single) and join us for a great Songwriters Series May 17th concert!
