Tim Harris's new fusion group,
The Testoster Tones,
featuring Warren Sneed

-----------------------------

Well that is all the info that I had handy.
Remember to call these places before you go
if you aren't willing to listen to whoever
happens to be there.  All info should be
correct, but things change.

As for safe bets, you can't go wrong with
Cezanne this month.  For any trombonists
out there, don't miss "Cy by night" on
August 22nd.  Joe Miller is an absolutely
incredible bone player.  Don't miss him!!!


(also Tues, Aug 18, is friends and family night 
for the Houston Musician's Union Reading Band
members of the group include: Warren Sneed, 
Joel Fulgham, Dave Foster, Bruce Melville, 
Dean Artall, and others.  Dedicated jazz fans
might enjoy this, if you can find the union
office.  We should start around 7pm or so.
And of course, when we finish, we will all
head over to Local's to hear the Testoster Tones!)

Later...
