Below, from my History site, is Scott Swoveland's mural saluting Mary's Bar,
and you'll spot a similar man, with hat, behind the bar

It was held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, where The Banner Project, was in display in the atrium.
Project founder Sara Fernandez is shown, lower left, and my friend Mister McKinney brought
me congratulatory flowers.

And, this nice thing happened, May 8, 2019...

My sites will be in the Library of Congress.
Here's part of the email they sent me. See article below.

The have since amended their request to also include
Texas Obituary Project and the Houston LGBT History websites

June 2017

Still another interview with JD Doyle, 6/3/17, by Mason Funk
of The Outwords Archive, It's very comprehensive, LINK
2 Hours 26 minutes covering life and radio and history work.
This is for true martyrs, it covers parts of my life I talk about
nowhere else (and not in my book), and we don't even get
to my History and Obit sites until 1 hour 40 minutes into it.


January 2015


January 2014

As I just can seem to stop adding things to my plate, in 2014 I launched two websites
not related to music. One is for preserving Houston and Texas history, at HoustonLGBTHistory.org

And the other provides obituary data on those we've lost, at
Texas Obituary Project

And there was a very nice story in Outsmart about the site.

And, one more, I am on the team for the Banner Project, a pop-up museum,
of course with its own website under my wing, at
Houston We Have History.org


June 2014

2014 was a pretty good year for me. I was deeply honored to be elected Male Grand Marshal
for the Houston Pride Parade, which included riding in a convertible near the head of the parade,
a feeling that just cannot be described.

Again, I am grateful for a terrific article in Outsmart Magazine on being Grand Marshal


May 2013

Eric Himan wrote a terrific article for The Advocate, and graciously quote me
