That's right - they're from Texas.

 

We'll be hearing from the Texas greats, pre-1965, both well-known and lesser so. I'll be happy to take your Texan requests (pre-1965), so add a comment here or on Facebook, or call in during the show when you become a member or up your membership - 877-500-5266.

To get a taste, check out this video from a 1946 short called Frontier Frolics. Here the Texas Playboys play, "You're From Texas" as they walk down the road. Leon McAuliffe (Houston) sings the lyrics that Bob Wills (Turkey Hill in Limestone County) lip-syncs. (below the fold, so click through).

This is one of two Membership Drive shows (the other is Wayne & Kathy's Hank Songs A-Z Part 2), so if you're not a member, we hope you'll become one - it's easy, fast, and it's a beautiful thing. Call us at 877-500-5266 or go to http://kboo.fm/give. If you are a member, thank you! And if you can sweeten the deal, thank you so much!
