As big as Memphis was for recording some of the greatest,
as famous as Nashville is for producing so many of the finest,
the incredible songwriters of Texas put Austin on the map…worldwide.
This is one of the ‘Fathers’ of Texas Hill Country Music, just a couple of years before his death.

My favorite duo from Texas was Steve Fromholz and Dan McCrimmon.
Saw them in Denver when I hung out at the Denver Folklore Center in the early 70’s.
The Frommox album ‘Here to There’ was a large influence on my playing.
‘Texas Trilogy’ is still one of my favorite songs of all time.

What a big shock today. A good friend of mine toured with Hag for years…
He was just here a couple months ago, visiting, eating BBQ, etc.
Me so sad.

Not many Country musicians left that I really enjoy.
Doc Watson and now Merle, gone.
For me, the Bakersfield Sound was the Telecaster Sound.
Roy Nichols was one of the Best.

I saw the Jerry Garcia band in Hampton Virginia at the Hampton Coliseum. They opened with How sweet it is and end it with What a wonderful world. Thy made that show into a album. I saw The Grateful Dead 30 times https://youtu.be/z_-fWBE9QUU
That’s the band I would’ve loved seeing. Saw the dead about a dozen times. I was always a Jerry guy.

JGB didn’t hit Detroit much or I’d have gone. That music is like a religion. Soulsy and uplifting.
