    can we all agree that Los Angeles would have the most? I'd rather not type them all out

    If I remember correctly, Charlie had a cameo in the movie "Boyhood." Beyond that, I don't know what he's doing.

    He's still in Austin. He plays locally and he does a lot of session work. He also produces other people's recordings. For years he's been playing lead in Dylan's backup band.

    Very influential band! Roky Ericson recovered after years of psychiatric care and still performs. I saw him at ACL fest several years ago. I think there's supposed to be a reunion show of surviving members sometime soon.

    A friend of mine in Cali actually has a Fever Tree album! I gotta remind him to burn me a copy of it.

    Charlie Sexton? I wasn't aware but I'm not surprised. He performs with other artists regularly, just doesn't seem to tour with his own band.

    Didn't know about that but I knew he's still active. I haven't been to Austin for a couple of years but will probably go in a few months.
