I heard my old friend Jo Carol Pierce passed away. She was an angel & a real Old Austin character. I’m all choked up!! One time when I was pretty young she did a tarot reading for me but it was more like a psychic reading. Predicted my whole fricken trajectory. God what a cool lady. She’s up there singing again with my other old angel pal Robbie Jacks on backups, I’m sure! ::sob:: Go look up her music!!

Jo Carol’s sister passed away a year & a half ago when the power grid failed :-( https://www.texastribune.org/2022/02/10/texas-winter-storm-deaths/
Texan who died in 2021 winter storm was an ex-hippie with a “magical mind”

A year ago next week, a winter storm devastated Texas. The family members of one storm victim say her adventurous life shouldn’t have ended by freezing to death in an assisted living facility.

@edithfrost thanks for posting that! Brought back a lot of memories. Nice to see a little flash of Robbie Jacks in there too. I saw her do the show at Hole in the Wall
@virgotex I saw her with Robbie a bunch of times at Chicago House, I think it was
