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.
