The artists and fans who came together at the Texas Music Theater in San Marcos on Sept. 2 for “A Labor of Love: A Musical Salute Honoring Lucky Tomblin” helped raise more than $17,000 for CASA of Central Texas, an advocacy group for abused and neglected childern in the court system. Performers included Delbert McClinton; the Texas Tornados; Terri Hendrix; Ponty Bone; a “pianorama” jam featuring Earl P. Ball, Floyd Domino, Emily Gimble, Nick Connolly, Red Young, and Gray Gregson; and Tomblin himself, singing with his own all-star band. U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-25th) was also on hand to thank Tomblin for his contributions to the Texas music scene as well as for his philanthropic work, and San Marcos Mayor Daniel Guerrero proclaimed Sept. 2 “Lucky Tomblin Day.”
