Today is an auspicious date in Texas music history. It was 52 years ago today that the famed Armadillo World Headquarters opened in Austin. The club lasted only slightly more than 10 years but left a cultural imprint. Thinking back, my times there almost don't seem real to me.

Dallas singer-songwriter Eric Steele's album, "Alamo Bootleg," examines some lesser-known stories about the Alamo. @kxtradio's Preston Jones says Steele had help from some well-known musicians. It gets released digitally today. https://t.co/FknJYHwAko

What the interior of The Alamo looked like in 1945. A sacred shrine, indeed!

Flashback to fun days in the studio with the great @summerdeanmusic at @audiodallas_ #AlamoBootleg

A scene outside the Alamo, 1943. Isn't it beyond amazing to look at this and to consider what it looked like in 1836, a mere 107 years before?
