Well, we're back from a quick spin through the Central Coast of California; we'd like to thank the folks at the San Luis Obispo Folk Society, KCBX, and all those people that came out to see us, mostly sight unseen, at the Coalesce Bookstore and Castoro Cellars. I must say as the voice of moderation, that I wondered about the wisdom of booking this band into a winery, but once we locked Travis and Peter out of the tasting room, everything went swimmingly. And thanks, too, to everyone who came out on a stormy Sunday to see us at the Little Fox in Redwood City. For those of you who missed the Academy Awards and came to see us instead, we had our own little red carpet event before the show: the video of Henry in that off-the-shoulder gown is probably making the rounds on YouTube by now.

On a more serious note, our song Coward's Game is making some serious noise over at Neil Young's Living With War website. A bunch of musicians have posted songs there--over 2,000--which are ranked by number of plays. Cowards' Game entered the chart at the bottom, and got up to 120. We'd be most grateful if those of you who know their way around the internets, to quote our prez, would go to the site and click on the tune--the more clicks, the higher we go on the chart. Here's the link---www.neilyoung.com/lwwtoday/index.html.

And finally, just a note on some upcoming gigs: we're at the delightful Monterey Live on 3/1, and at our home away from home, the Rancho Nicasio on 3/2. Details, as always, at the website, houstonjones.com.
