Mickey Raphael took his mother to meet Kinky Friedman last Wednesday, September 16, 2009 in Dallas, when Kinky launched his run for governor of Texas. Mickey credits this great photo to his friend and El Paso, Texas photographer, Brian Kanof.
Willie Nelson appeared at the fundraiser, and fans got autographs and photographs.
Mickey wrote about the fundraising event, about recording with Willie Nelson and producer TBond Burnett in Nashville, and other ways he spent his time off from the road, at his blog at

Beautiful Mom……..
I love this picture. It’s so great to see Mickey with his Mom. Don’t you think he looks like her?
I do too, Monique.
Nice you see it too, Linda. I haven’t seen a picture of his dad (I thought I’ve seen one at Mickey’s old website), but when I look at his Mom’s eyes and her sweet smile, I see Mickey …
The picture is still on his new website, under the “DISCOGRAPHY” link. You click on discography, then once there click on the discography link again. It was the only way I could figure out to post the discography.
Thanks for letting me know, Linda.
He also looks very much like his father especially when he displays that easy grin……
Yeah, I’ve noticed that too while checking out his dad’s picture …
