About the event
“It kind of came to me while driving one day. Texas was truly the place I’d always wanted to go, and at my age, if I was going to give it one more shot, I wanted to play exactly the kind of music I loved most. All my country music heroes were from Texas. Bob Wills, Ernst Tubb, Ray Price, Johnny Bush, Willie Nelson. It was where Asleep at the Wheel still lived and worked. People liked traditional music there…But what really clinched it was Debbie’s attitude. She wanted to come to Texas. I came home from work one day and she was ready to get a Ryder truck. She pushed to do it. It might not have happened here without her. ” – Cornell Hurd
