¡Viva Jerry Jeff!

Over the last couple of weeks I have written several birthday posts for Texas artists. It seems as if many of Texas' finest decided to be born whilst the bluebonnets were in bloom. Today I would like to wish a very happy birthday to Jerry Jeff Walker.

For me, his music is the sound of home, and whenever I had those lonesome Texas blues while living in Europe and Asia, I would just turn on a little Jerry Jeff and he would magically transport me to the homeland. Even today, I have a copy of ¡Viva Terlingua! hanging on the wall of my little office to help me travel to Waylon County when I sit down to write. Thank you, Jerry Jeff Walker, for always being able to put me in a Lone Star state of mind.
