Says Hep “The session was a delight all round - save for the enormous welts that we all picked up from the oversized Texan mosquitos who must have adored our pure English blood.  I know the locals thought we were mad when we insisted on sitting outside in the warm evenings but this is a pleasure that we Limeys get to enjoy for about 3 days of the year back home, so one must jump at the opportunity regardless of the consequences.  But I wish Jack hadn’t been so nonchalant about the Brown Recluse spiders that were resident under the house.  There were also phenomenal electric storms throughout our entire visit - quite frightening when you consider that a rumble of thunder and a dustbin blowing over in the UK constitutes a ‘storm’.  Jack and Susie were consummate hosts and real ‘foodies’.  They allowed us access to their excellent wine cellar and I spent much time quaffing Sancerre and putting the world to rights with Jack."

The team also managed a night off to see The Joe Richardson Express play a gig on Austin’s famous 6th Street.

Hep “Seeing Joe perform was a real privilege.  He has a lot of support in Austin and people seemed genuinely interested and excited at the prospect of a collaboration with Alan.”
