The third annual Wildcatter Exchange is underway in Fort Worth. Martina and I attended last year, and the lineup was fantastic. This year should prove to be just as fantastic. The Wildcatter Exchange, if you have not had the chance to attend, is a celebration of the written word. This year's speakers will include fiction writer Joe R. Lansdale of Hap and Leonard fame, historian Richard Selcer, poster artist Danny Garrett, and musician/historian Tom Reynolds, who will be talking about the incredible importance of Fort Worth's segregated I.M. Terrell High School in the history of jazz. I am happy to report that I played a small part in the creation of the book, Fort Worth's Giants of Jazz, which will be on sale at the event.
