GARY P. NUNN RETURNS TO ROSCOE SATURDAY NIGHT

Gary P. Nunn

Gary P. Nunn, who played here on the street stage at the 2010 West Texas Wind Festival returns to Roscoe when he and his Bunkhouse Band play for the first time at the Lumberyard Saturday evening.  A pioneer of the outlaw music scene in Austin with his Lost Gonzo Band, Nunn played with Willie Nelson, Michael Murphy, and Jerry Jeff Walker in the seventies—and has been a fixture of the Texas music scene ever since. 

His fame as a performer is matched by his songwriting skills.  What self-respecting Texan can’t sing along to “I want to go home with the armadillo, good country music from Amarillo and Abilene” from his “London Homesick Blues”?  He’ll be singing that and “That’s What I Like about Texas,” “Terlingua Moon,” and many others, including songs from his latest album, “Taking Texas to the Country.” 

Show starts at 9:30.  Cover charge is $12, and tables may be reserved.  For more information call the Lumberyard at 325-766-2457.

WEATHER REPORT

Once again, it was too hot, too windy, and too dry.  Farmers waited as long as they could for some precipitation, but in the past week many have begun dry planting their cotton. 

The rain we had a chance for last week never materialized, and on Friday we had another triple-digit day when the afternoon temperature reached 100°F.  Thankfully, a cool front moved through and caused highs to drop into the upper 80°s on Saturday and Sunday.

On Monday it warmed up to 95° and yesterday we had our hottest day of the year so far with a high of 104° and a low of 76°.  Today should be another hot one similar to yesterday, but tomorrow another cool front will move through, bringing with it lower temperatures and a 30% chance of rain.  Highs will be in the mid 80°s and lows in the mid 60°s both tomorrow and Friday. 

Saturday will be warmer with highs in the lower 90°s.  There will also be a 20% chance for precipitation.
