A Name that Rhymes with Birmingham

Austin's own Jon Dee Graham is playing in the Fort tonight, and it's a pity we couldn't make the show. Jon Dee Graham, an Austin Music Hall of Famer, played with Jesse Sublett in the 1970s punk band, The Skunks, and played in the True Believers with Alejandro Escovedo after that. Fans of Ray Wylie Hubbard might remember hearing "Jon Dee Graham" rhymed with "Birmingham" in the song "Name Droppin'." I have to say I like the way that rhymes. Well, anyway, I hope we catch Jon Dee Graham on the next go 'round.   

Here is Jon Dee Graham, post Skunk punk, playing on an acoustic guitar.
