Miss Tex and husband Gary were at the inaugural Texas Musicians’ Hall of Fame Induction Gala in Clifton, Texas last week (4/5/08). The first class of inductees included Abbott native Willie Nelson, Steve Fromholz, Hank Thompson, Smokey Montgomery of the Light Crust Doughboys, Janis Joplin and Buddy Holly. It was organized by Tom & Marianne Kreason, with the Texas Musicians Museum in Hillsboro, Texas.
Thanks to Miss Tex, pictured here with Willie at a Texas Road House, for sharing her story and pictures. She first posted them at www.clubluck.willienelson.com.
Pat said this about the evening:
After the awards were handed out Hank Thompson’s band, The Brazos Valley boys of Texas, closed the evening. Lots of GREAT music & dancing!! Only downside to the evening was that Willie was not in attendance.
