Gallivantin' with Gough - September 5, 2008
Wow! What a Summer! It all started with Jim being
inducted into the
Cowtown Society of Western Music Hall of Fame in
early May. Then, the end of May he was inducted into the
Texas Western Swing Hall of Fame in San Marcos. Jim
played and sang with some of the biggest names in Texas
music...Herb Remington, Maurice Anderson, Skeeter
Elkins, Bob Boatright, and old friend, Bill Dessens,
among many more.
Jim continued as spokesman for
Golden Chick restaurants with new spots recorded in
the Summer. he was hired as spokesman for
Monterey Tex-Mex Cafe in Tulsa and cut several spots
for that account as well.
The Summer wrapped up with Jim
and Gail heading to Seattle where Jim was inducted into
their
Western Swing Hall of Fame. It was a wonderful
experience with the Goughs making many new friends and
seeing the sights around the area.
Jim and Gail rode the ferries
to to Sidney, B.C. winding around through the
pretty San Juan Islands. They visited the
Butterfly Gardens and trekked to historic Victoria.
It was on to Los Angeles where
Jim recorded two national radio spots for
Pfizer Animal Health and narrated an entire western
audiobook, "Guns of Mark Jardine" at the historic
Had Hatter Studios in Hollywood. Look for it to be
released by
Galaxy Press soon.
The Goughs visited the famous
Author's Services, Inc. beautiful headquarters on
Hollywood Blvd., the building that houses L. Ron
Hubbard's impressive array of photography and novels.
While in Hollywood they were given a personal tour of
the famous
Capitol Records Tower. Can you imagine how awesome
it was to stand in the very studio where Frank Sinatra,
Peggy Lee and Nat Cole cut so many hit records? Gail
even got to play Nat's piano!
Upon returning home, Jim
recorded spots for the
Texas Music Project and
Professional Rodeo Cowboy's Association.
Yep, it was a terrific Summer
and we're looking forward to the Fall. Jim has roles in
a couple of movies to be filmed around Austin and as
usual, we're looking forward to playing some Holiday
parties with our groups. Stay tuned!
