What a treat. Graham provided two fantastic sets of original music to an extremely appreciative Piney Woods Performances crowd. Check out some of Graham's tunes for yourself at: www.myspace.com/undergroundtownship


Somewhere between these two photos Graham explained his inspiration for "Child of Light". Unless you happened to stroll in the same Austin back alley, odds are you'd never come close to guessing...

Below - As an unexpected bonus, the PWP enjoyed 4 songs from James Levy, hailing from Brooklyn, NY. Check him out at www.myspace.com/levy
Take special note of the guitar below. James is left-handed. So he turned the guitar upside down and played it backwards. Had it not been pointed out, it's likely we wouldn't have noticed. How's that for a PWP original moment?

Below - As Graham began the first song of his second set he blew out a string. Maybe it was due to James' upside-down tuning, maybe it was due to the passion Graham played with. So a five-minute break was in order and then Graham got back into the groove.
Graham tried out some new tunes to our delight. Many so new he needed to review the words...


For those in attendance, Graham left us behind an unreleased collection of songs as a special thank you to the PWP audience - you will soon find that arriving in yhour mailbox (details to follow). For those not in attendance this time, don't miss the next show! Graham has already agreed to come back for some more fun at PWP!
