Welcome Thread for the TBR Texas State Chapter

[geronl]

Say, @Sanguine  would the Texas State chapter topic be a good place to post news articles of local/state interest, such as articles about what The Lege might be up to when it's in session, or what silly thing the Austin City Council (or other city council) might be doing? I suspect this is the right place for such news articles, just want to make sure.  ^-^

Yes, that would be to a primary purpose

I'll have to remember to wave when I drive by.

Thanks for that, Bear_in_RoseBear. Always warms my heart.

Going to watch Asleep at the Wheel at the old town Spring Crawfish Festival this Saturday night.
It is the closest thing we can get to Bob Wills.

[BuckeyeTexan]

Bob Wills was awesome.

Any Steve Earle fans?

Charlie Robison, Pat Green, Robert Earl Keen, Lyle Lovett?

[GrouchoTex]

I like everyone you have mentioned.
I've seen most of them live.

I go see Steve Earle every single time he comes to Dallas. My favorite venue is the Granada Theater in Dallas.

I live about 5 miles from the Redneck Country Club.
Gary P Nunn was there just last week end.
I saw Ray Wylie Hubbard there.
They bring in a lot of good music.
Another one of my favorites it Two Tons od Steel.
I try to catch them whenever they are in the Houston area.
Drove to John T Floores Country Store in Helotes to see them, and Gruene Hall.

And Joe Ely, Guy Clark, Robert Earl Keen, Ray Wiley Hubbard, Jimmie Dale Gilmore and Butch Hancock.

Yes to all of those, plus many others.

Do you, or have you, listened to KOKE-FM? They play all of those artists and more, with a heavy emphasis on Texas/Red Dirt music. You can listen to them online from their website if you're not in the Austin area:  http://kokefm.com/ (click on the "Listen Live" button at the top of the page.)

Rick Perry just endorsed Trump.

 :nometalk:

Am disappointed.  And I wonder where did Rick's conservative principles go?  Think he is looking at another position?

I'm quite close in Missouri City but moving to Rosharon this summer.
