Fans of musician Robert Earl Keen, one-time (and future?) guv hopeful Kinky Friedman, and former Dallas Cowboy Jay Novacek may have thrilled when they read this week’s Film News column in the Chronicle, which reported that all three men would appear at the first ever Texandance Film Festival in New Braunfels this June.
