Letter to the Lubbock Avalanche Journal from Tommy Hancock

Dear Editor,

I know the people of Lubbock will enjoy knowing how well the current music talent from West Texas was received in Austin at the recent "Sandstorm Picnic".

Every act of The NEW West Texas Music Showcase was an ongoing hit for six hours of constant entertainment at the packed house. Paul Bullock kept the audience very happy between acts with his unique poetry and professional emceeing.  Most people already know of the many well known musicians from Lubbock but this show included only the as yet unknown. It verified the theory that there is a continual phenomenon of terrific musicians in Lubbock--for whatever reason.

When I was an active musician, being from Lubbock was a wonderful help to me.  The current people are sure to enjoy this honor as well.

Thank you Lubbock.

Tommy Hancock


Our father, Tommy X Hancock, wrote an excellent article for the series, "Tales Of The City", that was published in the Austin American Statesman, Insight Section, on Sunday, March 16th.  They titled it "Band Finds Different Texas Than Lubbock."    It was a perfect ending for this year's SXSW. There's also a wonderful picture of him!
Here's the link if you'd like to check it out:  http://www.statesman.com/search/content/editorial/stories/insight/03/16/0316tales.html

In the article, Tommy mentions our "Guru Maharaji" which is an affectionate term of endearment. Maharaji's given name is Prem Rawat, which is how he is most widely known these days. He not only speaks of peace, human nature and fulfillment with clarity, humor and passion, he also offers techniques for furthering a deeper knowing, understanding, of what these words even mean!  It has been profoundly inspiring and simply fun to witness him in his work encouraging self knowledge and expanding humanitarian efforts through his foundation.
