It's not a restaurant, that's what he calls his house. I don't think he throws a lot of parties or performances out there anymore so I have yet to see the place but I've heard great things about it.

And yes, he still performs regularly. He'll be at the Ye Olde Lantern here in Tucson on June 26 (and usually at least once a month all year long). Everyone should see him perform at least once in their lives. Bit of a living legend around here...

I have about about 10 different albums of his and still find them pretty regularly. Of the dozens and dozens of copies I've seen over the years only two or three were NOT signed. He must've had lines out the door at every performance with people waiting for his signature. My wife and I had him sign a record the last time we saw him and he was so thrilled to see it he announced it to the whole restaurant!

If you Google him you'll find some nice stories from some regional newspapers and such. Fantastic guy.
