February 5th, 1994 ..and we would continue to see each other when in February thru May 1997, Jeff Buckley @ Chicago House, Austin, TX
——-
Jeff & I met the night before at the Cactus Cafe (February 4th)…
He was opening for Alejandro Escovedo, and NOBODY
in Austin knew anything about him….
NO “Live at Sin-é” (Solo CD) had come out yet….

Jeff walked up to me and held the lapel of my jacket and said
“cool jacket.”
“your’s too.” i said..
“I’m Jeff……”
..we became buddies….
he even came to eat with a bunch of us at the Magnolia South….
he came to town to do another Chicago House gig
with his band on the 3rd of August, of the same year….

I never went to the Liberty Lunch show in 1995
he was working on his next record (My Sweetheart the Drunk)
and playing solo in a club in Memphis…
…he drowned in Late May…..
