Who's from Texas ?

Post by CrowBear Schmitt »

Aside from Louisiana, Texas has given Amerikan Musik a trainload of talents.
How 'bout some help, naming them on this post. (Steelers or not)
Here are a few i found so far:
Blind Lemon Jefferson Buddy Holly
Bob Wills Ida Mae Mac Sons of the West
Black Ace T Bone Walker Mercy D Walton (?)
Lightnin' Hopkins Charles Brown Doug Sahm
Johnny Winter SRV Light Crust Doeboys
King Curtis Clarence Gatemouth Brown (?)

Don't hold it against me for not including Steelers. (when in doubt...)
That's where y'all step on in,
and bring forth more Light...

Well, yes, but he's from Texas now, isn't he? Image

Y'know, when you come right down to it, isn't there just a little bit of Texas in each and every one of us? I mean, really deep, deep down inside, in our heart of hearts...
