I had the privilege of photographing Dale Watson and his Lone Stars in their last performance of 2009 at Ginny's Little Longhorn Saloon. For those who don't know, Ginny's is an Austin institution and Dale Watson's old-school honky-tonk two-steppin' country western shows are not to be missed. I hope you enjoy these little mementos of true Austin culture.

Performances: Schave & Reilly

(click any image to view larger)

Schave & Reilly are modern-day versions of Vaudeville's baggy-pants comedians. Reminiscent of Laurel and Hardy, these two delightful clowns use an original blend of ridiculous dance, slapstick, and juggling to tell stories of life, love, and jubilation. Expertly intertwining emotion and absurdity, SCHAVE & REILLY appeal to adults and children alike. They are memorable, touching, one of a kind, and very, very funny. Visit their website (SchaveAndReilly.com) to learn more.
