This week in the Shack

We're battening down the hatches here at the Shack, as it looks like Hurricane Ike will be bringing high winds and heavy rains all the way up into Austin on Saturday. If you're down on the Texas or Louisiana coasts, please stay safe; and if you're safely away from the hurricane's path, please spare some good thoughts or prayers for those who aren't.

Meanwhile, here's some blues to get you through the weekend.
