Gallivantin' with Gough - July 13, 2007
Wellsir, things have been picking up around the Rancho-Notso-Grande
lately. In my role as the voice of "Golden
Chick" Restaurants, I recently recorded three new TV
spots for the Austin market. We've also done new TV
voice-overs for
Alan
Young GMC that are playing in the Metroplex area.
I had a real pleasant surprise recently and was picked
up for some on-camera TV spots to promote
Holmes Smokehouse Sausage on Houston stations. The
folks that hired me were old friends I worked with many
years ago when my office was on Highway 59. The founders
of
Holmes Smokehouse in Pleak, Texas were personal
friends of mine. Now my many pals in Houston are seeing
'ol Jim sitting in a rocking chair whittlin' and telling
folks about the great taste of Holmes' sausage. I'm
proud to be back on Houston TV as that's where it all
began so long ago.
My friends at Houston's Radioworks have written a 'talkin'
blues' type radio spot for me that will air in Houston
soon as well. I'm still on San Antonio radio stations
plugging
Bandera Chevrolet, and in Austin for
Smokey Mo's Barbeque.
On the music front, The Cosmopolitan Cowboys have played
some nice gigs around Austin and I played bass and sang
with my friend Rod Moag's band on a riverboat on Lake
Austin a while back. The all-star band included Bert
Rivera, Floyd Domino and the old "Texas Drummer Boy",
Johnny Cuviello.
If you're in Central Texas in late September, plan on
making the "Up
the Chisolhm Trail" celebration on the square in
Georgetown. We'll celebrate the cattle drives of the
1800's that originated in Texas and trailed all the way
to the railheads in Kansas. We'll drive longhorn cattle
up main street, have roping demonstrations, cowboy
poets, barbeque and all the trimmings. My band, The
Cosmopolitan Cowboys, will play that evening near the
courthouse steps. Mark your calendars for September
29th!
That's about it for now...have a great Summer!
