Interesting article in Texas Monthly and conversation on WBAP yesterday morning.
Who would be on your Mt. Rushmore of Texas Music?
I got:
Bob Wills
Willie Nelson
Buddy Holly
Stevie Ray Vaughan
The number 4 spot is tough. Lots of contenders! If SRV hadn't died so young and tragically, would he still be seen as such an influence? The same could be asked of Buddy Holly, I guess. What about George Strait? Would he belong on your Mt. Rushmore?

I like your picks, but which would you strike of the list? Only four faces on My. Rushmore.

Seems like Mt. Rushmore isn't big enough for Texas....
I'd have to shoehorn Billy Joe Shaver, Van Zandt, ZZ Top, Flaco Jimenez, Frizzell and Lyle Lovett right below Willie, Strait, Ernest Tubb , and Wills.

To appropriately represent Texas musicians & music would take several Mt Rushmore's.
It would be hard for me to whittle down to a top 20.
