Joe, you are so right about keeping the venues, especially the historic and iconic Saxon Pub. Keep the small stage and everything else. Music has built Austin and Austin now needs to step up and help the venues and performers. Sad to see Threadgills go, both locations, no less. Thanks for what you have done, and are doing, for music.

I have had some of my best times in life at The Saxon Pub. From the first day the Saxon opened the music was great, the sound is better than any venue in Austin. Always my first choice for a night out on the town
