@JaredSandler Totally relate to this! I made my parents pull over in New Mexico and get a hotel early on our 1976 vacation so I could get to see Toby Harrah, my hero, introduced!

The Texas Quote of the Day comes from Stevie Ray Vaughan:

“I took music theory for one year in high school and flunked all but one six-week period. That’s because I couldn’t read music and the rest of the class was already eight or nine years into it. The teacher would sit down and hit a ten-fingered chord on the piano and you had to write all the notes down in about ten seconds. I just couldn’t do it. It was more like math to me.

A lot of the songs I write now … I don’t even know what key they’re in. I have to ask somebody to find out. I can play it, I just can’t name it. Jazz changes and all. But I don’t know the names of what it is I’m doing.

You see, I spent too many years of my life thinking that the big party was the whole thing. It took me quite a while to find out that the real deal is to be able to be enough of a person on your own to know when somebody loves and cares about you. You see, we are here, as far as I can tell, to help each other — our brothers, our sisters, our friends, our enemies. That’s to help each other, not hurt each other. Sometimes, to help them, we’ve got to help ourselves, so that we’ll know that they’re around in the first place. You see, it’s a big world out there with enough pain and misery in it, without me going around and helping it out by hurting myself, and consequently, those who care about me. What I’m trying to get across to you is: Please take care of yourself and those that you love, because that’s what we are here for, that’s all we’ve got, and that is what we can take with us."

---- Stevie Ray Vaughan

A pair of superstars leading our city: @Johnson4Dallas and @DPDChiefGarcia… right there with Luka and Micah in my book!

[Mayor Eric L. Johnson @Johnson4Dallas]

How does America’s 9th largest city lower its violent crime, including murders, TWO YEARS IN A ROW, when crime is up in other big cities? Starts at the top with your mayor and police chief. My relationship with ⁦@DallasPD⁩ ⁦@DPDChiefGarcia⁩ is a blessing from God.🙏🏾💪🏾

Stevie Ray Vaughan was born 68 years ago today, on October 3, 1954, in Dallas' Methodist Hospital, which was located at 304 Colorado in Big D. Dang! Knowing that Stevie would be 68 today makes me feel old, myself. Feel fortunate to see him live so many times I lost count.
