The mission of CASA of Central Texas is to advocate for abused and neglected children in the court system by recruiting, training and supporting community volunteers. In 2011, CASA volunteers served more than 300 children in Caldwell, Comal, Guadalupe and Hays Counties.
Tomblin, a San Antonio native, is a bandleader, songwriter, filmmaker and founder of SilverStar Entertainment. In the 80’s, Tomblin founded the legendary Fire Station Recording and Film Studio in San Marcos, where he recorded among others, Stevie Ray Vaughan, the Texas Tornados and Townes Van Zandt. Tomblin was also instrumental in starting the Recording Technology Program at Texas State University in San Marcos.

Tomblin first sang in public at the Grand Ole Opry show in San Antonio on the same bill with Roger Miller, Little Jimmy Dickens and Ray Price. Dynamic Records’ Abe Epstein signed him and his first single, the folk-rock “On My Love,” was a regional hit.

He played nightclubs and shared stages with such friends as Jackie King, Doug Sahm, Augie Meyers and the West Side Horns. It was his old friend Sahm who urged Tomblin to form a band. This encouragement was the genesis for his first band, Lucky 13, which performed at the Havana Jazz Festival in 2002. The band also recorded and endeared itself to dancehall fans in Central Texas and beyond.

The current Lucky Tomblin Band featuring Redd Volkaert, Earl Poole Ball, Bobby Arnold, John X Reed, Sarah Brown and Jon Hahn released its self-titled debut album in 2003, followed by “In a Honky Tonk Mood” and “Red Hot from Blue Rock”. The band’s latest, “Honky Tonk Merry Go Round,” was produced by Lloyd Maines.

Music will begin at 7:00PM. Serving as emcees will be Dr. Gary Hartman, Director of the Center for Texas Music History at Texas State University, and Dallas Wayne, Host of Outlaw Country and Willie’s Roadhouse shows on SIRIUS XM Satellite Radio.

A complete list of scheduled performers is at the end of this release.

New Roof

We have a new roof. Our tile roof was supposed to last a lifetime, but it was put on incorrectly and so we've been fighting leaks ever since we moved in. We had some bids offered on both a new tile roof or on several different types of metal. We chose a metal roof because I grew up with a metal roof and loved it and because it was less expensive than the tile. It took the crew seven working days to take off the tile and put up the new roof. They did a great job and we really love it. We were worried at first that it wouldn't be as beautiful, but we really do like it. Now I want to repaint the front door though.

New Directions/New Blog

The times, they are a'changing. I think it might be time to start something new. I have the idea that I want to start a new travel website/blog. I want it to be fancy and pretty. It will be a place to focus all my travel obsession/passion. I will blog our trips there and talk about travel with children. I will post when I find places that I want to travel to and I will post when I find great travel deals. I will talk about the points game too. I want to talk about Generational Travel. I want to talk about traveling with small children, but I also want to talk about how it is to travel with my dad and my grandparents. I haven't been able to find any websites out there that talk about travel with alzheimers and I think it would be helpful to some people. Katie already told me she'd help with my social media. (sure, with all her spare time. ;)) This blog has been my journal for seven years. I have loved keeping a record of my family here. Each year, when I rec...

Love for My Boys

First, Sam. Sam is in such a sweet stage right now. Gentle, giving, fun, sweet, easy. He loves to cuddle and share. He's talking a ton now and growing so fast. He's learning to ride a bike and yesterday and twice today, he pooped in the potty! He's only 21 months!!! He's working on his two year old molars and has been carrying around an old metal rattle to chew on. This morning he accidentally whacked Davis on the head with it. Davis cried and I pulled him in my lap. Sam ran over and crawled up next to us on the couch. "What happened?", he asked, deeply concerned. I explained that he had hurt his brother. Sammy said, "So Sorry, Dadis. Hug.", and gave him a big hug. Then he said to Davis, "I loves you.". I've never heard him say he loved anything or anyone and I was so touched to hear him say it to his brother. He would follow Davis anywhere and does. He leaps from the couch after Davis and tromps through the grass. He ex...
