How about going both ways. Ones that mention Texas and those that come from Texas. (lets see if we can surpass the Rig Pics post for most pages)
It is a shame that Texas music isn't heard nationally, what's bad is I only hear hour long blocks here in the Midland area while back in Stephenville there is a local station devoted to the greatest music for the greatest nati... State.
