[78-L] Texas performers

[RAY KILCOYNE]

I'm still scratching my head over Tennessee Ernie's inclusion on this Texas 
performers list.  Next someone will claim that Tex Williams is from Illinois 
:>).
By the way, Tommy Sands is from Illinois but I've read he cut his first 
record for the Freedom label in Houston.  That must be a nice find.
You did straighten me out on Hank Thompson.  I always had the misconception 
that he was from OK.
