[78-L] Texas performers

[Bill McClung]

These artists weren't necessarily from Texas.  The question was "Did any of
these performers or bands PICTURED make records?"  There were eleven
screens.

I'm sure many people would love to be from Texas but there are probably
many more who would love to be FAR from Texas.
