That run-down, de serted house with the porch? The one that’s across the street from the Presbyterian church? Come on, you’ve staggered past it after tipsy evenings in the Northgate drinking district. That porch inspired Lyle Lovett, a Class of ’80 journalism graduate and Class of ’81 Ger man graduate, and a friend, Rob ert Keen, Class of ’78 English graduate, to write what has been called a country-music master piece. “This Old Porch” is one of the i songs on Lovett’s debut album, “Lyle Lovett,” that’s got new and seasoned country music listeners alike saying, “Hey man, this guy’s great!” While at Texas A&M, Lovett tempered his academic pursuits with many hours of singing and guitar playing on the front porch of Keen’s house. College paid off with degrees while the hours of playing music are paying off with a Nashville songwriting contract, an MCA re cording deal, appearances on na tional television shows and tour ing around the country. Not bad for a guy who was just out to ped dle a few songs. “I’ve been really lucky,” Lovett said. “I originally went to Nash ville two years ago to try and shop my songs for other people to do. I felt like that was the most realistic thing to do going there. I ended up getting a record deal, too.” Even with the future looking so bright for Lovett, he’s not the least bit forgetful of his local be ginnings. “Texas A&M was a great place for me to be able to go to school and get an education and to pur sue my music at the same time,” he said. “There were great clubs {; ByO Photo b\ font Ownbc Lyle Lovett performs Thursday evening at Morganstern’s, here for me to play and work on writing songs and try my songs out in."
