Five decades of acltv resonate at ATXFestival.
A 1911 Steinway grand piano sits on the second floor of Terry Lickona's chic backyard bungalow residence. It's a new addition to the Clarksville homestead where the recognizable executive producer and host ofLickona is quick to admit that he doesn't actually play piano , but as he runs fingers over the keys, he soaks in a sense of reverence for those whose hands have made magic on the instrument – artists ranging from Bobbie Nelson and Ray Charles to Jerry Lee Lewis and Tom Waits.
"Obviously, it's not the same show that it was when it started out," offers Lickona,"but in a lot of ways, it does feel like the same thing, the same process. ... At its most basic level, we still do things pretty much the way we did back in the day when we did that first pilot with Willie. The formula is about as simple as it gets – we book a band or an artist and we give them our stage to get up there and to do whatever they want to do.
"Nothing lasts 50 years without having its ups and downs," Lickona acknowledges."There were lean years, a period of 10 years when our budget was frozen and we weren't sure we had the money to produce a full season or we'd lose an underwriter or two. And the pandemic, that was the one thing that finally just shut us down along with the rest of the world. We didn't know if we could sustain the show or come back if we lost our funding and had to start over.
