Nice to see this thread back up front, it was nice to take a trip back through these.

Yes, sometimes I think we need to find something we all have in common. Texas and music.

And whatâ€™s cooking new in Texas music? How about Houstonâ€™s own Carolyn Wonderland, give her a listen and figure who she was influenced by.

@Astrokatz
I know how to draw you out. Drank some whiskey with Carolyn back in the day...buddy of mine played drums for her for a while.

Thank you. Lyle does, in fact, make me feel much better.

@Fairlane57 you made me pull the stops outâ€¦.. kick back close your eyes and just listen for what it is. Real Texas Blues music at itâ€™s origin. Imagine almost 80 years or more old and if you just listen â€¦.a true influence on Texas music today
.And of course

Alger "Texas" Alexander

@Astrokatz :

I never have listened to him...outstanding guitar work in this. Man I love old blues. What makes it all better, these guys were recorded by a record company guy, who would travel the south looking to record guys right on their front porches or jail (in some cases like Leadbelly).
