How you feel about Buddy Holly (and I share that, believe me) is also how I feel about Roy Orbison.
From my younger days, when I drank quite a bit, Jerry Jeff was one of my favorites, even though he's actually a New Yorker that moved to Texas. As to native Texans, I've always had a soft spot for Lefty Frizzell. I wrote a small piece about the music video from Pancho and Lefty on my blog, where I write things when I have time (which hasn't been often, lately). It's http://www.randomneuralfirings.com at the bottom of the page, and mentions Lefty, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, and a little bit about the old Texas music scene. You might find it interesting. Or not.
i bet that i've danced at least a thousand miles to FADED LOVE!
