 Our deep thanks to Jimbo of Calamity Creek for hosting West Texas Reggae & Dub every Monday night at 9-10 PM since... seems like since the beginning. The Monday night groove won't be the same without you - good luck.

 Today on Talk At Ten we won't be visiting with the architects of Marfa's "Ghost House" (The Farmer House) - that talk has been moved to Monday August 17 - but we'll be playing our July 18th discussion with Houston Mayor Bill White, originally recorded on a Saturday morning a few weeks ago.
