Jimmy LaFave and Dale Watson are among the musicians singing on "Save Town Lake - Taking Our Stand", a new protest song designed to raise awareness of the rampant development along the Town Lake corridor and throughout central Austin.

With a chorus of…

Setbacks and variances, who's fooling who
Town Lake's the keepsake we're sticking to
Enforce the code and protect the shore
Your variances aren't very fun anymore

…it's unlikely to join the ranks of classic protest songs like, say, "We Shall Overcome" or "This Land Is Your Land." But kudos to SaveTownLake.org for drawing upon the local music scene to help spread the word about the simmering struggle over our evolving city skyline.

Bob Schneider, Kinky Friedman, and Stephen Bruton will be among those joining LaFave and Watson for the "Concert to Save Town Lake" tomorrow night at Stubb's.
