RAY WILEY HUBBARD and the ARMADILLO CHRISTMAS BAZAAR

I LOVE this annual crafts fare at the Palmer Center every year.  It runs for 10 days and offers three music sets every day and absolutely beautiful art and crafts are sold.  Each year I buy pottery from my favorite potters, animals made of recycled metal, ogle at Aly Winningham's gorgeous mosaics and bop in place to Ray Wiley Hubbard's fabulous country music.  He is a wonderful songwriter, great story teller, and provides us with a view of Texas that really broadens Abe's and my understanding of what people's lives were like growing up here.  This is one of my favorite events in Austin.  A combination of American crafts made by local artisans and very American country  music.
