Cafe Vaquera, August 9, 2011

I just returned from four days at the Pickathon, at beautiful Pendarvis Farm near Portland, Oregon. I bought some new CDs from the artists to share with you on Cafe Vaquera. If you hear great music on Community Radio, or get turned on to a new favorite artist from Cafe Vaquera, or you are a musician, yourself, be sure you tell festival organizers. You can twitter and tweet like a freakin' canary and it ain't gonna get you air time. Show the love for the stations that play the independent artists and let festival organizers know that we count! OK? Thanks...

This is a quick line drawing I did of Michael Hurley at this year's Pickathon.
