I did not do much to celebrate Martian Luther King Day so this morning I drove to east Austin to visit the George Washington Carver Museum.  The museum was showing four movies about the life and movement of MLK and I watched two of the movies.  Driving a little farther into east Austin I had trouble finding the concert I thought was to be in the park.  The concert of Mexican Ranch music turned out to be inside the building next to the park and it was standing room only so I did not even stay for one song.  Before leaving east Austin I stopped at one of the Austin Public Library branches which gave me a chance to read the city newspaper and write a post for Laywell's Lamp. Later I attended a concert in the Rotunda of the Texas State Capital. The Marshall Academy of Fine Arts gave a ho hum musical performance. Their choir was somewhat better than their orchestra but over all the whole concert was a dud.  The day was wearing on and I needed a pick me up so I stopped at Book People for coffee. My next event just so happened to be across the street from Book People which made the coffee stop that much better.  Arriving at Waterloo Records thirty minutes before the Folk Rock performer was to take the stage I did not see the normal large group of people waiting for the album release party to start.  I thought something was wrong and I was right.  Fifteen minutes after I had arrived at Waterloo Record they announced the concert had been canceled.  It was 5 PM and the talk  by the University of Texas Professor of Gender I had planned to attend  was two and a half hours away.  I was looking forward to her talk but decided to skip the talk and get in line with all the other drivers heading home in Friday 5  PM traffic.
