“It’s Time To Go Bearfoot”<br />
By Ken Brown<br />
Yes, I know it’s getting cooler, but it’s almost time to go Bearfoot! On Saturday November 15th, at 8 pm,<br />
this hot young band from Alaska will take the stage at the Cactus Café on the UT campus, sponsored by<br />
the <strong>Central</strong> <strong>Texas</strong> <strong>Bluegrass</strong> <strong>Association</strong>. It’s our 30th Anniversary celebration! CTBA members will get<br />
in free (we’ll have a current member<br />
list at the door); non-members<br />
can join at the door or pay $8.<br />
The Band<br />
Odessa Jorgensen (fiddle), Angela<br />
Oudean (fiddle), Kate Hambre<br />
(bass), Jason Norris (mandolin),<br />
Mike Mickelson (guitar). Odessa<br />
(formerly of the Biscuit Burners)<br />
recently replaced Annalisa Tornfelt,<br />
who appears on all three of the<br />
band’s first three CDs. Twin fiddles,<br />
vocal harmonies mostly featuring<br />
Odessa, Kate, and Angela,<br />
sizzling guitar and mandolin. What more could you want They’ve played at the Kennedy Center, Merlefest,<br />
and the Old Settlers Festival, and they won the Telluride Band contest in 2001. They’ll have a new<br />
CD out in 2009. If you want a preview, go to the web site for the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing<br />
Arts:<br />
www.kennedy-center.org/programs/millennium/archive.html<br />
and use their search engine to search for ―Bearfoot‖. You’ll find a video clip of their performance from<br />
October 26, 2007. If you have a fast connection, the audio should come through OK, though the video<br />
may be a bit spasmodic. You can also find some MP3 files here:<br />
The Cactus Café<br />
www.bearfootbluegrass.com/cds.html<br />
Unquestionably Austin’s best live acoustic music venue, the Cactus Café is located in the southwest corner<br />
of the <strong>Texas</strong> Union Building, on the UT campus. It’s on the east side of Guadalupe, across from the<br />
(continued on page two)
(―It’s time to go Bearfoot‖ continued)<br />
Co-Op. It’s best to enter the south side of the building, from the West mall; look for the door marked<br />
―Commons,‖ then turn to your left in the lobby. Despite its name the Cactus doesn’t serve food, but it<br />
does have a bar, and there is a big food court in the Union. What the Cactus does have is superb acoustics,<br />
attentive audiences and one of the best house sound systems in Austin. It’s a pretty small room, so<br />
come early!<br />
Parking<br />
There is no parking adjacent to the Cactus Café. You might get lucky and find a metered space, but<br />
don’t count on it. Off-campus meters are free on weekends, but on-campus meters are not (and<br />
are limited to 45 minutes maximum). The Longhorns will be at Kansas this weekend, but that will<br />
only draw off a few students.<br />
2
See Parking map below:<br />
1. San Antonio Street Garage: entrance on San Antonio near 25th; tickets pulled after 5:45 pm<br />
are $3 maximum.<br />
2. Union parking lot: entrance on Whitis, south of 20th. $7 for all day; unlighted, no attendant;<br />
pay in cash box.<br />
3. Dobie Mall garage: entrance on north side of 20th between Whitis and University Ave.; 0-60<br />
minutes, $3; $1.50 each additional 30 minutes; $12 /day maximum.<br />
4. AT&T garage; entrance on south side of 20th, almost opposite Dobie garage; 1-1.5 hours,<br />
$4; 1.5-2 hours, $6; 2-2.5 hours $8; 2.5—3 hours $10.<br />
Other options: the State of <strong>Texas</strong> lot at MLK and Congress is free on weekends, but is farther away<br />
and is usually mostly filled with student cars. There’s also the parking garage under the Bob Bullock<br />
History Museum.<br />
My advice is to arrive early, eat at one of the neighborhood restaurants (I recommend Ruby’s Barbecue),<br />
enjoy the walk to the Cactus and don’t be dismayed just because there’s no parking lot just outside<br />
the door.<br />

This month we salute ―The Retired Musicians Jam‖ of<br />
Converse, <strong>Texas</strong>. I believe it is the oldest Jam still<br />
thriving. It was started on the second Thursday in November<br />
of 1992 and has never missed a Thursday.<br />
How great is that to have held on for approximately 16<br />
years The Master of Ceremonies is, and has always<br />
been, Jack McAffey, AKA ―Cactus Jack‖, now 87<br />
years young. Jack lives in Adkins, <strong>Texas</strong> and the jam<br />
is currently held at the Senior Citizens Center on Donalyn,<br />
in Converse. It is between FM 78 and I-10 east<br />
of San Antonio. The picture to the right is ―Cactus<br />
Jack‖ with Jim McCalla in the background playing<br />
electric Bass and Ernie Gambs on the fiddle. Jack has<br />
been Master of Ceremonies at the Comal County, New<br />
Braunfels Jam for 2 and 1/2 years and only just recently<br />
quit after he turned 87.<br />
Jam Spotlight<br />
By Clifton Bowren<br />
Allan Beck, above from S.A., playing the Autoharp. I didn’t get the name of the steel player. On bass was Jim<br />
McCalla, playing Richard’s bass. He usually plays an acoustic bass.<br />
Above we have Diane, who lives in New Braunfels. I don’t remember her last name. She also plays bass,<br />
banjo, and guitar. Her husband (not shown) plays bass, mandolin and guitar. In the center above is Al Malse,<br />
an excellent fiddler. He is a retired Concert Violinist, reads music, and plays some really good breakdowns.<br />
Here he is doing “Soldiers Joy” as good as I have ever heard. To the right is Huegette Paige, from Castroville,<br />
Tx., born and reared in France and has a cute French accent. She has a great number of French and German<br />
tunes and can really make that accordion talk. These are a great bunch of folks and I know you will enjoy visiting<br />
with them and joining them in the jam as much a I did. I know I left some of you out but Roy wouldn’t give<br />
me an additional page.<br />

Correction on the article:<br />
Cell Phone Numbers Going Public !!!<br />
My thanks to John Roths, KEOS Music Director in College Station, Tx. For bringing the correct information to<br />
us.<br />
It seems that Telemarketing to a cell phone number has always been illegal in most cases and is as of now.<br />
There are several emails going around which are not correct and I happen to have gotten one of those. My intentions<br />
were good but I should have checked it out before publishing it.<br />
Here’s what you need to know about the National Do Not Call Registry program:<br />
FCC regulations prohibit telemarketers from using automated dialers to call cell phone numbers. Auto<br />
mated dialers are standard in the industry, so most telemarketers are barred from calling consumers on<br />
their cell phones without their consent.<br />
The federal government does not maintain a national cell phone registry. Personal cell phone users<br />
have always been able to add their numbers to the National Do Not Call Registry — the same Registry<br />
consumers use to register their land lines — either online at www.donotcall.gov or by calling toll-free 1-<br />
888-382-1222 from the telephone number they wish to register. Registrations become effective within 31<br />
days of signing up and are active for five years. There is no cut-off date or deadline for registrations.<br />
Business-to-business calls are not covered under the Registry.<br />
For More Information<br />
To learn more about the National Do Not Call Registry and the rules that enforce it, visit the FTC<br />
at www.ftc.gov or the FCC at www.fcc.gov. For more information about a planned “wireless 411” directory,<br />
visit http://www.iq411.com/wireless411/index.shtml.<br />
The FTC works for the consumer to prevent fraudulent, deceptive, and unfair business practices in the marketplace<br />
and to provide information to help consumers spot, stop, and avoid them. To file a complaint in English or<br />
Spanish (bilingual counselors are available to take complaints), or to get free information on any of 150 consumer<br />
topics, call toll-free, 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357), or use the complaint form at www.ftc.gov. The<br />
FTC enters Internet, telemarketing, identity theft, and other fraud-related complaints into Consumer Sentinel, a<br />
secure, online database available to hundreds of civil and criminal law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and<br />
abroad.<br />
The above is referenced on: http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2005/04/dnc.shtm<br />
Your registration will not expire. Telephone numbers placed on the National Do Not Call Registry<br />
will remain on it permanently due to the Do-Not-Call Improvement Act of 2007, which became<br />
law in February 2008. Read more about it at http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2008/04/dncfyi.shtm.<br />

This group has developed a unique style of their own and given a new sound to the <strong>Bluegrass</strong><br />
Music. I have this album and thoroughly enjoy it. It is unlike many of the albums you buy these<br />
days which when you finish listening to it you almost never put it back in the CD player because you<br />
don’t have the urge to listen to it again. This entire album will have you wanting to listening time and again.<br />

Here it is! Eddie Collins latest release and boy is it great. I am like the man in the commercial that<br />
can’t decide which flooring he wants. I like this one no that one no that one! Well that is the way I feel about<br />
Eddie’s latest CD release. All of his releases have been great but I think it is my favorite until he comes out<br />
with another. Helping Eddie out on this release are Mike Montgomery: fiddle, tracks 2,5,6,9 & 12, Billy Bright:<br />
Mandolin on tracks 4,6,9,12 and Amy Collins: Flute on track 5.<br />

These two albums have been out for a while with ―Golden Wings‖ being the latest release. I have both<br />
CD’s and enjoy both…. Roy The following is a testimonial listed on Eddie’s web site: ….‖unpretentious music<br />
that draws the listener in. It reminds me not so much of a fancy banquet as an enjoyable,<br />
satisfying breakfast with friends at your favorite local diner.‖ …..Pete Wernick (Dr. Banjo)<br />

“Singer/songwriter Danny Santos the inspiration of his Tejano heritage, a musical legacy ranging<br />
from Hank Williams to the Beatles, and a <strong>Texas</strong>-sized determination to create a unique mix of country/ folk<br />
tinged with <strong>Bluegrass</strong> and the Blues. His songs illuminate the joys of true love, the woes of love lost and the<br />
weary longing of those still searching. It’s a style forged from maturity, grit and drive‖. I took this from his<br />
website but I have listened to his music and it truly relates and states it much better than I could. For ordering<br />
