October 8, 2010

Texas Music at it’s best on Real Texas Blog It’s music video Friday #15 in case my friend Jim Bob can’t figure out the X’s and V’s. I think Folsom Prison Blues was one of the first recollections of Johnny Cash that I have.  Yes, he started his career in country music, but he was also proficient in blues, […]

Up and coming blogger, Stephan Dueboay wrote one of the best articles I have read in a while that some of you will ‘get’ and some of you won’t.  It kinda depends on your age and how technology oriented you are. Those of you who grew up in small Towns across Texas and the USA […]

Garth Brooks, you either like him or you don’t.  I like him and the lyrics to a number of his songs.  The first song I remember hearing him sing was Friends in Low Places, which I immediately connected with.  Maybe it is because I have many friends in low places.  Yes, I have friends in […]

I’ve kinda gone overboard on some of the newer artists here on Music Video Friday and the next songs here talks about some of that ‘going overboard’ on the new stuff. I’m here to repent and join in with lots of others who still like the old style country music.  You know, the drinkin’ and […]

Real Texas Football

September 16, 2010
