Horslips in America...concert ticket from '78
"I have very, very fond memories of Austin. We played the late lamented Armadillo World Centre - fabulous  gig -  with Randy California's new band in support."

"I wanna go home with the armadillo.
Good country music from Amarillo and Abilene.
The friendliest people and the prettiest women
you've ever seen.

"Well it's cold over here, and I swear,
I wish they'd turn the heat on.
And where in the world is that English girl,
I promised I would meet on the third floor.
And of the whole damn lot, the only friend I got,
Is a smoke and a cheap guitar.
My mind keeps roamin', my heart keeps longin'
to be home in a Texas bar."

"London Homesick Blues"
