MEMORIAL DONATIONS
Steven Kincaid of Topsfield, MA recently emailed us about his late father’s love of country music. His father, William C. Kincaid, was a big fan of Bob Wills, “The King of Western Swing.” And each year, on or around his late father’s April 11 birthday, Steve tries to make a donation specifically to country and western non-profit organizations promoting the music of Bob Wills. This year, Steven honored the memory of his late father by donating $100 to THMF. Thank you, Steven, your father’s memory lives on in the music of Bob Wills and in the programming we produce for the community each year.  Would you like to honor the memory of a family member or friend with a donation to THMF? click here


THMF would like to thank Barbara Zoeller for the donation of $100 in remembrance of Karen Abrahams’ father Maynard Abrahams. Karen is a regular performer at the THMF Living History Day and is featured in Kathleen Hudson’s book Women in Texas Music.
