John T. Davis Jenny saThngam The author of Austin City Limits: 25 Years of American Music, John T. Davis has written about the music, person- alities, and culture of Texas for publications including the Austin Chronicle and Texas Monthly for over 30 years. In this issue, he gives us an inside look at the not-to-be-missed country events of the season (page 52). When did you know you wanted to be a writer? It happened in grade school, when my class took a field trip to the Dallas Morning News. There were guys wearing their hats indoors and smoking cigarettes and sassy dames cracking wise. Everyone was talking on the telephone. Teletype machines were going off in the back- ground. I was hooked on the spot. After leaving a job in finance and moving to Australia, Jenny Sathngam found her true passion: photography. Now based in Austin, the self-taught photographer has contributed to Food & Wine and Travel + Leisure, among other publications. See her work in the "Art of the City" cover story on visual artist Jennifer Chenoweth (page 88). Since this is our "Art of the City" issue, do you have a favorite work of art or museum? My favorite artist of all time and mediums is David Hockney. The Harry Ransom Center is my favorite museum in Austin—they have the largest Magnum photog- raphy collection in the world, and the work is incredible and histori- cally important.
