Gary playing at Mayfest along Trinity Park in Fort Worth. When I told my wife I wanted to go down to Mayfest to see Gary she asked "Is that the only band you want to see? We are going down to just see one band?" I told her, yes, and she was a little surprised but decided to go along. We got down there just before the band started and we were 2 of about 15 people hanging around to see the band. Kind of sad, really, but afterwards my wife told me she could see why I wanted to come. Gary had his folks with him on the trip and they sold his self-released CDs on the side. I asked if I could take their picture, too. They were amused, but I'm glad I did. It just shows what can come from humble beginnings. Travelling up to a gig with your folks to play a fest with a handful of people watching to touring the world playing with mega-stars. It can and does happen and I'm glad it happened to Gary.
