Honky Tonk:Portraits of Country Music/grayDUCK gallery

Last night we went over to grayDUCK close by (in the same lot as LOVELY my favorite vintage store on South 1st) for an opening of the acclaimed photographer Henry Horenstein.  He's Boston-based, a lover of country music and  has taken photos of country musicians and their fans from 1972-2011.  The photos are B&W, revealing the change in times from Waylon Jennings in the 70's sporting some nasty looking nails, an adorable Dolly Parton, lots of BIG hair, a beautiful Emmy Lou Harris to Ray Benson in 2011 looking just like Ray Benson looks.  (Wish he'd taken his hat off the other night at The Paramount during Jayne Mansfield's Car).  Good music, a delicious drink made up of cranberry, cucumber juices and Dripping Springs Vodka.  It was delicious and it seems the gallery owner got it off of Martha Stewart's site. I'm not a big fan of hers at all but this drink is goooood!  I would definitely recommend this exhibit for it's historic window into a world so far different from Austin's music scene.
