AUSTIN, TX – JULY 7, 2009. Once again the KGSR sponsored Blues on the Green put on a great show with Jimmie Vaughan. It was only 95 degrees in the park as compared to the other Wednesday night shows which were 100+ degrees this summer! The park was packed as if it was a major festival. This being Austin, most of the people brought their dogs, children, grand parents, friends, blankets, lawn chairs, booze and their favorite smokes. Jimmie at one point during the show said “hey, how are you’all doing, how about the folks in the back, it looks like a love fest”. As a photographer, this is one of my favorite summer series to shoot. The people let me walk around from the front to the back, left stage and right stage. No one pushes or shoves me and no need for a photo pit! Jimmie decided not to have have a break during the show but played straight on from 7:30 pm to 9:15 pm. Half way through the show he was joined by Lou Ann Barton.
