Texas Musicians Museum Evicted?

I was alarmed to see that the Texas Musicians Museum in Irving has been ordered to vacate the premises. Martina and I visited the museum the day it first opened, and I was thrilled to see a recording device used for the Lomax field recordings for the Smithsonian Institution as well as an old Stella parlor guitar like the one that Blind Lemon Jefferson would have played. I do not claim to know the circumstances, but I do hope that something gets worked out with the City of Irving and that the museum will be able to stay.

Here is an article from the Dallas Observer about the situation.
