Godspeed & Thanks Raoul
RECEIVED Tue., July 27, 2021
Dear Editor,
Wow - what a celebration! And so deserved! So many memories in your stories and tributes. I laughed; I cried. Experiences long forgot awoke with a smile. Thank you Austin Chronicle. And thank you, Raoul, a sherpa for so many of us over the years!
OK, your prose was sometimes impenetrable (at least Louis Black had Marge Baumgarten to assist). But your taste and passion was never in doubt.
Griff Luneburg, impresario of the Cactus Cafe, once asked if I wanted to meet Raoul. I declined. I knew that if Raoul was there, I was in the right place.
Blessings and thanks to Mr. Hernandez for all you gave to music and Austin and the Chronicle
